The short answer is: walking is good for you and enjoyable.
'Walking the way to Health' aims to
encourage people to become more active and therefore healthier through short,
recreational health walks. Walking has been shown to be extremely beneficial to
health and is one of the easiest types of exercise people can do. And it's
cheap: in fact it costs precisely nothing! Compare that with the cost of gym
membership.
Enjoy your local parks and open spaces, and improve your
fitness, by joining the 'Walking the way to Health' scheme in Basingstoke and
Deane. Led by volunteer leaders, the walks vary each week. They are
non-competitive, everyone is welcome and all walks are free of charge.
