Walking
Walking is fantastic for our wellbeing! It’s that simple. Need some inspiration?
Explore the benefits of walking in this short 2 minute video and take in some stunning scenery too with Ben: one of our sport scientists. Click on the thumbnail below to play. Below the video is a button to download a guide to walking for better health, simply click to download.
Hopefully, we can all soon travel again to some of our local beauty spots and holiday destinations. In the meantime, feel and look better simply by getting outside and walking!
Walking provides a fantastic exercise stimulus for our mind and body and we can make it even better by adding a few body weight exercises to our walks. Here’s Ben again with some simple examples of exercises that you too can use to get a whole body workout while you walk.
There are many ways to vary the difficulty of your walks, such as the time you walk for, your walking pace, the terrain you are on and whether you carry any load. Noting the features of your walks will help you keep track of your week by week progress. All elite athletes keep a training diary. If you are a regular walker, why not do the same thing and create a basic walking diary to track your improvement.
Below the video you will find an example of a walking diary along with a blank version for you to download.
