Health and Fitness Facts
Walking is a good way to improve the health of your heart, lungs
and circulation and to help control your weight. Set a medium pace
so you are slightly warm and breathing more heavily than usual but
can talk comfortably.
Try and walk for at least 30 minutes on most days of the week
and you’ll reap the health benefits and feel great. If you can’t do
the whole 30 minutes in one go, break it down into two shorter
walks of 15 minutes each.
