You don’t have to go on long walks to reap the benefits – walking briskly for just 10 minutes a day can have a positive impact on your physical health, as well as your wellbeing.

Walking doesn’t require any special equipment. All you need is a comfortable pair of shoes or trainers, and it can be easily fitted into your daily routine.
