Extend your life with this amazing, FREE exercise!
We hope you can see now that walking, a simple and easy way to exercise, is a great way to stay fit and healthy, even extending our lives by lowering our risk of heart disease, burning calories, improving our mental health, managing our risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and much, much more.

So, how do we go about it? The best way is to simply get up and do it. Wear comfortable shoes (ideally trainers or walking boots) that support your feet and cushion your joints, and always wear socks that absorb perspiration and prevent blisters.
Make sure you’ve dressed appropriately for the weather. Layers are a fantastic idea because you can remove them and tie them around your waist if you get too hot. Wear a waterproof layer if it’s raining, sunscreen or a hat if it’s hot, and a water bottle regardless of the weather. If you don’t have time to walk, consider walking to work or getting off the bus or train a few stops earlier. If you have time, walk the kids to school or spend your lunch break strolling around the block or at your local park. Local walking groups can also be found in some places. Whatever you do, do it, and most importantly, have fun!
