Walking For Health

Join Us

We all know that walking is one of the best ways to stay healthy so why not come and join us and discover more of your local area, explore what’s on your doorstep and meet new people. It’s never too late to start!

Some of us use two legs, some of us use sticks and some use wheels, bring along a friend.

Every step counts, every movement matters.

Mums, bring along your children, your pushchair, come and enjoy the fresh air.

Walking for health walks help and are designed for people with long term health conditions.
Regular activity helps increase life expectancy, improves strength of muscles and bones, reduces blood pressure and can reduce your risk of:

• Alzheimer’s disease by 40%
• Colon cancer by 40%
• Type 2 diabetes by 40%
• Depression by 30%
• Coronary heart disease by 20%
• Breast cancer by 20%

Walking also improves mood and sleep quality and reduces stress, anxiety and fatigue.

STAY STRONGER FOR LONGER THROUGH THE SIMPLE ACT OF WALKING!
