STEP OUT FOR A HEALTHY START TO THE YEAR Having over-indulged over the Christmas season of goodwill, you may now be contemplating the traditional New Year’s resolution to get back into shape? But this doesn’t necessarily mean hours on the treadmill at the gym, as it’s now easier than ever to take steps towards a healthier lifestyle. Over 30 free health walks are now available right across the city, so there’s sure to be at least one in a park or green space near you. Health walks are short walks where people are

encouraged to walk at their own pace, in their local area with trained staff. Walks last between 30-45 minutes and many people enjoy the social contact with new friends met on the walks almost as much as the exercise. Walking is a relaxing and enjoyable way to keep healthy and, as it doesn’t require any special equipment or expense, it’s the prefect way to exercise. It is sufficiently active to improve fitness and gain the many health benefits associated with exercise. Regular walking can

improve general health and fitness, and also cope with stress and depression. Most people find it actually reduces tiredness and gives them more energy for everyday tasks as well as helping them achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. Doctors say it can reduce the risk of many serious health problems in old age and helps to lessen the risk of strokes. Walking is safe and low impact, with a low risk of injuries and accidents. All the walks are free of charge and take place

every week (except bank holidays). Health walks vary in length (between 1km and 3.5km) and are designed for people of all ages and abilities. The proposed activities are measured and risk assessed and must be accessible to all. After some of the weekly walks some people take part in other physical activities, such as a Tai Chi or yoga classes. A dietician has also worked with some of the walking groups, advising and providing information about healthy eating regimes.
