Get Walking in 2012

Link to article

Take to your feet for the new year and burn off those Christmas calories. Walking is a fantastic way to improve your health and fitness and can help you lose weight and even banish those winter blues.

The beauty of walking is that it is free, almost anyone can do it and it’s easy to get started. You don’t need to spend lots of money on joining the gym or expensive equipment; all you need to do to get started is pull on your trainers and step outside.

You don’t need to travel far to get walking. In fact, walking is a great way to explore your local area and there are plenty of attractive places to walk in towns and cities as well as in the countryside. Check out our advice for finding great places to get walking.

Another great thing about walking is that it is a social exercise, you can walk in a group, with your friends or family.

So, start your new year’s resolution today and get walking!

  1. Well Done all those who turned out for the first walk of the new programme. Doug and I enjoyed your company very much. Refreshments at Delicious and Divine were very good as usual and I know some of the group were enjoying the experience for the first time. If you meant to come but did not quite make it, don’t worry there are more walks planned and the walk leaders will be delighted to see you on their walks.
