Top tips for walking
- A pedometer is a relatively inexpensive walking tool and tells you how many steps you take each day.
- Experts recommend that we take 10,000 steps a day. Six thousand steps is the equivalent of one cheeseburger**!
- A brisk walk means that your breathing is deeper than normal but you can still hold a conversation.
Make walking fun
- Make it a game. Walk as long as it takes to spot a certain thing, such as two white cars.
- Take a walking holiday. There are many great destinations and it's a fun way to bond as a family.
- There's a range of walking clubs, which offer great ideas on walking activities. Try the Ramblers' Association at www.ramblers.org.uk
