Walking is sometimes overlooked as a form of exercise.  Walking briskly can help you build stamina, burn excess calories and make your heart healthier.

A brisk 10 minute daily walk has lots of health benefits and counts towards your recommended 150 minutes of weekly exercise.

A brisk walk is about 3miles per hour, which is faster than a stroll.   You should be able to talk but unable to sing the words to a song.

Make walking a habit - walk part of your journey to work, walk to the shops, use the stairs instead of the lift, leave the car behind for short journeys, walk the children to school are just a few ways of including walking into your lifestyle.

Using an app or a fitness watch is a great way to start tracking your steps, distance and pace.
