Promotes better sleep
Helps the muscles and ligaments in the feet to work more efficiently, and keep them supple and flexible
Reduces depression and anxiety
Helps people achieve and maintain a healthy body weight
Helps build and maintain healthy bones, muscles, and joints
Helps to reduce the risks of many serious health problems in old age
Helps to reduce the risk of developing non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes mellitus
Helps to reduce the risks of developing osteoporosis
Helps to reduce the risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD)
Helps to lower the risk of developing high blood pressure
Helps to reduce blood pressure in people who already have hypertension

Did you know:
Longer moderately paced walks (40 mins at 60-65% maximum heart rate) are best for losing weight – up to 300 calories per hour
Shorter, faster walks (20 mins at 75-85% maximum heart rate) are best for improving heart and lung function
