After my 20 mile training walk today (Ouch) - have a think about this for the weekend...
Walking outdoors has plenty of perks: beautiful views, fresh air, and time to relax. It's good for you, too. Regular walking is a powerful cardio workout that can: Lower your risk of heart disease Improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels Boost bone density, since walking is a weight-bearing exercise Build strength in your glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, and the muscles in your hips and lower legs Strengthen your core Improve balance Help control your weight Boost your mood. "Research shows that walking has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety. Being outside and around nature is ingrained in our DNA, and we sometimes forget that."
