Walking briskly for thirty minutes, five times a week has been nationally
adopted as the minimum requirement for healthy benefits. Thirty minutes spread over the day is equally beneficial and activity within your daily routine can also burn calories and improve metabolic function, such as your body’s response to insulin.

Described by health experts as 'almost perfect exercise', walking requires no equipment or expense and is the ideal way for most people to become more active. Seven out of every ten people in this country are not physically active enough to benefit their health.
