One Step At A Time

May is National Walking Month a campaign promoting the environmental and health benefits of walking - “Walk to Work Week” and “Walk to School Week” will also take place as part of the month.

Local fitness expert Karen Austin is encouraging the people of Milnrow to integrate walking into their own exercise regime to increase their well-being.

With Britain becoming more inactive than ever and over a quarter of the UK’s adults obese with the numbers rising Karen believes it’s key that people do one of the simplest exercises available to everyone.

Karen from Milnrow says, “I know a lot of clients who live in walking distance to where we work out but drive here to work out and then drive back home again. It’s a simple step to take to think: ‘Do I have to drive or is it in walking distance?’ if it is then you should definitely walk.”

“Walking 10 thousand steps a day is a great place to start your new fitness regime it’s the best way back into fitness if you’ve been pregnant, ill or are currently very overweight and need a place to start fresh.”
