Walking program for beginners

I am interested in a walking program. What intensity is the health walk. Is it building a low to high intensity?

Hi Rosepetal- if you want a beginners walking program you can’t go far wrong with the Active10 app which’s free please see:

nhs.uk/better-health/get-ac...

And even better still there’s a HU community for Active10 members:

healthunlocked.com/active10

The photo shows how the app works as it lets you know how many minutes your walk was and how many minutes were spent walking briskly.

I walk a lot in the forest and off the paths so find it hard walking briskly through undergrowth but it’s very easy and simple to use.

You’ve literally taken the first step so well done for that and my only advice is to pace yourself so it works for you.

I love walking and in nature so good luck with your new walking regime. 😊

Hi Rosepetal-

It's great to hear you're interested in walking. This 'Health Walk' forum isn't really a specific programme, just a collection of people who enjoy posting views from their walks.

I hope you enjoy your walks, and hope to see you around.

Zest :-)
