May is National Walking Month started by Living Streets.
Walking is good for our minds, our bodies and our neighbourhoods and has been a lifeline during the past year, helping people stay active and connected. That’s why we want everyone to keep going and pledge to #WalkThisMay!
Living Streets #Try20 tips are designed to help you fit 20 minutes of walking into your day.
Health experts recommend a brisk daily walk as an easy way to improve your health with a 20 minute walk being shown to reduce the risk of a number of preventable health conditions, including certain cancers, depression, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.
Whether you’re walking as a family, trying to fit in some exercise whilst working from home, or if you’re restricted to indoor exercise – our #Try20 tips have something for you.

They also have resources to aid walking at work, walking to school, walking at home, etc.
WALKING AT WORK
How we work has changed drastically for a lot of us in recent months.
Walking can also help ease two of the big side effects of the coronavirus pandemic – isolation and inactivity.
Whether you are walking at work or walking from home – they have something for you.
From Walking Works – their walking programme designed for workplaces – to their spinning wheel of tips to inspire you to walk more.
WALKING WORKS
Walking Works is their programme for embedding the culture of walking into workplaces.
The programme has been re-developed so it’s appropriate to run safely and effectively during the pandemic.
Workplaces across the country are taking steps to be more active, more productive, healthier and happier – join them!
