Hi everyone,

It’s national walking month!

With the weather warming up its a great time of year to get out and about or take advantage of the lighter evenings to fit a walk in after work.

Sitting has been linked to obesity, which in turn is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer and early death. Not only is walking an effective calorie burner β€” for a 160-pound person, an hour of moderate walking burns 200 calories. Walking also lowers blood sugar, strengthens muscles and helps maintain a healthy weight. πŸ‘

Here is a link below to living streets walking campaign with all sorts of useful information including 20 tips on how to incorporate walking into your day 😁

Happy walking. Enjoy your evening!
