We want to encourage you to stay fit and motivated while spending extended periods at home. To provide a safe and effective way for you to walk at home, we have filmed a series of walks in familiar areas across Aberdeenshire for you to watch while you March on the Spot.
You might like to join our virtual walks by walking on the spot, hopping on a treadmill or exercise bike or simply sitting back and enjoying the scenery. You can do this exercise seated or standing.
