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.
You don’t have to go on long walks to reap the benefits either, walking briskly for just 10 minutes a day can have a positive impact on your health.
By joining a walking group, or walking with family and friends it can also be a sociable activity.
Less strenuous than most forms of exercise, cycling is a great way to get fit – and have fun!
Getting regular exercise is not just beneficial for your physical wellbeing, it can also have a huge impact on your mental health. Hopping on a bike even for just half an hour will help to relieve the stress and tensions of everyday life.
Not only that, a quick cycle will also boost your energy levels and release endorphins, increasing your overall happiness.
Running is fantastic exercise, and you don’t need much kit to get you started.
You can choose to run alone, or team up with a friend for moral support.
Running regularly can reduce your risk of long-term illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes, build strong bones and help keep your weight under control.
It can also boost your mood, and is excellent way to relieve stress.
