Walking for Health

Walking for Health (NHS)

Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier.

Sometimes overlooked as a form of exercise, walking briskly can help patients build stamina, burn excess calories and make their heart healthier.

You do not have to walk for hours.

A brisk 10-minute daily walk has lots of health benefits and counts towards your 150 minutes of weekly exercise, as recommended in the physical activity guidelines for adults aged 19 to 64.
