Why Walk?
Walking benefits your health, confidence and pocket. Walking locally is a great way of meeting people, getting fresh air, saving money, and often saving time. Walking requires a little investment, possibly footwear/clothing but don't let that put you off. One of the many perks to walking is after a little practice you'll be exercising without noticing it while enjoying being outside and in the fresh air. Research has shown that 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity, five days a week, can help reduce the risk of chronic disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. Other benefits include increased self-confidence, lower levels of stress, improved sleep and enhanced well-being. For advice to help you get started please visit: www.getirelandwalking.ie
