Get Walking Keep Walking is a new project aimed at helping people, especially in big cities, improve their health and well-being by walking regularly and locally.
Walking is an excellent natural exercise that can help you stay healthy and live longer, control your weight, keep happy, enjoy time with friends and family, learn more about your local area and even look after the environment.
Walking for a total of 30 minutes a day, five days a week, can help protect against many illnesses and conditions. It's also a great way to fight stress and improve mental health.
The best news is -- almost everyone can do it, anywhere and at any time, for free! You don't need special clothing, equipment or training, it's easy to fit in with daily life, and it's natural and easy on your body. Even if you're unfit, you can start slowly and build up gradually.
To help you get started, we're running FREE Get Walking Keep Walking programmes in local centres in five cities in England.
Sign up to Get Walking Keep Walking and you will receive:
- A Welcome to Walking session with tips and advice on how to get the most out of walking.
- A series of easy led walks and other activities.
- Support from our local Walking Ambassadors.
- D.I.Y. 12-week plan to walk your way to better health.
