We deliver free Health Walks across the borough in partnership with Ramblers Wellbeing Walks. Our walks provide a variety of routes to suit all ages and abilities. Under 18’s will need to be accompanied by a responsible adult. All Wellbeing Walks range from 30 to 90 minutes.
Why is walking good for your health?
Walking Boosts Vitamin D
We all need to go outside more. Lots of people are Vitamin D deficient, affecting things like your bone health and your immune system. Walking is a perfect way to enjoy the outdoor whilst getting your Vitamin D fix especially in Spring and Summer!
Walking gives you energy
A brisk walk boosts circulation and increases the oxygen supply to every cell in your body, it helps to make you feel refreshed, alert and awake. Try walking on your lunch break.
Walking can help lower your blood pressure
A brisk walking routine can help lower your blood pressure. If you cant find a full 30 minutes to walk, spread it out throughout your day 10 minutes here and there will add up if you stick with it.
Walking makes you happy
Exercise boosts your mood, studies show that a brisk walk is just as effective as antidepressants in mild to moderate cases of depression, reducing stress and anxiety. This is a positive for your mental health!
