Why Walk?
Walking is a great way to increase your physical activity levels as well as taking in the breathtaking scenery.
There are a number of benefits that you can get from walking:
- Walking is great for fun and fitness
- Walking benefits health and wellbeing
- Walking is suitable for all ages
- Discover attractive and interesting places to walk
- Revisit favourite places
- Walking is free
At what intensity should I walk at?
'Brisk' walking means walking so that you breathe a little faster, feel warmer and have a slightly faster heart
beat. You should still be able to talk. If you can't carry out a conversation, then you're going too fast and
need to slow down.
How often should I walk?
The current recommendation for physical activity is 30 minutes of moderate activity on 5 or more days per
week. That's all it takes to improve your health and feel the difference.
If you find it difficult to complete 30mins in one go, you could walk for ten minutes, three times a day or 15
minutes twice a day at first. The most important thing is that you start at a comfortable level and build up
gradually.
Are there any local walking groups?
The ‘Strolling in Stroud District’ group were established in 2006 and offer short led walks for all abilities.
There are several regular walks that take place across the district with something for everybody on each
walk. The group welcomes old and new walkers and is a fantastic way to meet new people.
There are also several ‘one-off’ walks that are delivered by a variety of organisations that take place
throughout the year.
All of these walks and more can be found by contacting us on (01453) 754501 or by visiting our website
