Walking
for Health
There's no doubt about it, walking is considered the best form of
exercise. An easy way to get exercise every day is to walk to
work, school, the shops or go for a stroll during your lunch break.
If
work is too far from home to walk, why not park further away and walk
the remaining distance?
Walking helps you to control your weight, reduce stress, improve your
heart health, strengthen your bones or simply enjoy the social
benefits.

Health
professionals recommend walking 10,000 steps a day (about 5
miles).
Walking
a mile uses the same number of calories as running a mile.
Nearly
a quarter of all our trips are one mile or less - a walkable
distance for most of us. |
