Hver dag går forfatter Anna Skyggebjerg en tur. 10.000 skridt, mindst. Ikke fordi hun ikke kan andet. Løbe, for eksempel. Men fordi det at gå tur er en aktivitet, der rækker langt ud over blot det at sætte den ene fod foran den anden. I sin gennemresearchede bog "Gå tur" formidler Skyggebjerg, hvordan gåturen ikke blot øger vores fysiske og psykiske velbefindende og styrker vores relationer, men i sin yderste konsekvens er en revolutionær praksis.
