Walking: A Simple Way to Stay Healthy
Walking
Walking is one of the simplest ways to build physical activity into your daily routine. It requires no special equipment, costs nothing and can easily form part of your journey to and from work.
By choosing to walk for part or all of your commute, you can enjoy a range of benefits:
- Improved health – Just 30 minutes of walking a day can boost heart and lung fitness.
- A stronger body – Walking is low impact, supports joint health and helps maintain a healthy weight.
- Reduced travel costs – No fuel, no fares and no parking costs.
- Better wellbeing – Time outdoors can help reduce stress and improve mood.
