Making the most of your walk
Walking is great for your health and wellbeing and you don't need any special equipment to get started. It's often not as far as you think to walk for shorter journeys, plus it'll count as part of your daily exercise and you’ll feel great.

Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier.
