Aaron Carter on fitness and mental health - 'You strap the shoes on and you go for a walk'

Nine To Noon - A podcast by RNZ

Sports event organiser Aaron Carter now finds it "really bizarre" that severe depression was able to stop him doing the outdoor activities he loved. He tells Kathryn Ryan that getting active again has been a major part of his recovery. "Eventually, you sort of break through and you see the blue skies again and yeah, you strap the shoes on and you go for a walk and that's literally how it started for me, walking along the waterfront in Taupō and just getting back into life."
