Walking is simple, free, and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier.
The easiest way to walk more is to make walking a habit. Think of ways to include walking as part of your commute or in your daily routine. For example:
- walking part of your journey to work
- walking to the shops
- using the stairs instead of the lift
- leaving the car behind for short journeys
- walking the kids to school
- doing a regular walk with a friend
- going for a stroll with family or friends after dinner
Why not start by taking The Active Travel Challenge? Challenge yourself to get active and enjoy the benefits of walking. There’s a whole range of prizes available, from Fitbits to watches, hotel vouchers and more. Simply sign up and log your journeys here: https://atc.getmeactive.org.uk/
But remember to do it safely – wear comfortable shoes, use footways or footpaths whenever possible and ensure that drivers and other road users can see you well in advance. We have more advice on how to reduce our risks as pedestrians on our website.
Enjoy your walk!
