May is National Walking Month and it’s about getting out more rather than how fast or how far you can walk . There are so many benefits for getting out for a walk, not least it all counts towards the 150 minutes of aerobic activity that we should be trying to work towards each week even if it’s just a stroll around the garden. Try and go at a pace you are going at a pace you can have a conversation BUT you couldn’t sing a song!
Here are some of the other benefits you could see
- reduce stress
- improve sleep
- improve cardiovascular fitness (heart & lung health!)
- strengthen bones and muscles
- improve muscle endurance
(don’t forget Chichester Wellbeing run a free guided walk programme more details here)

Having worked in IT in London for 15 years I was made redundant in 2009. I had trained as a gym instructor whilst working and decided I would rather spend the rest of my career doing something I loved than look for another job in IT. I furthered my qualifications with a Certificate in Advanced Personal Training from the highly regarded Premier Training. Many personal trainers are generalists covering all areas of fitness but I took the decision to specialise in the over-50s and therefore went on to do a CYQ Award in Functional Training for the Independent Older Adult Level 3. My focus is on overall health rather than fitness. I believe that making small changes can have a long term positive effect on health and well-being.
