Trying to keep going

Hiya everyone.. I have a various mobility and physical illness which prevents me from working..I use a variety of mobility aids and some days I don't due to being in more pain in upper body.. However my physio and I would like me to follow a plan in which I would be walking for 5 to 15 minutes in fresh air.. Regardless of pain levels..and I can obviously sit down or rest if I need to.. I have no issues trying this as I am in pain regardless.. And I feel it would be beneficial for maintaining my limited mobility, maybe help with my insomnia and my mental health.. However I am on esa and pip and I'm worried about this being held against me.. Even though this might be the only activity I will manage that day.. I'm I paranoid or I'm I right to be worried about this.. X thank you for help or advice

If you have a few minutes to spare, we'd appreciate your feedback on our online community.
But hopefully I can start to feel like myself a bit more.. Even if its just a small walk

One further point always check with your GP before doing any physical exercise or changes in diet or nutrition.
I am always saying this because you have to do all of this safely.
Just let you know have fun but remember take it slowly. Be aware of your own abilities.
