Tips to get started with Walking for Fitness - Start small! Just get out and do it. Start with 10 minutes a day. We all know how to walk and by committing to 10 minutes a day, 66 days later you will have formed a new habit. Look for ways during the day to increase your walking. Pack your Go Walks (#AF) in your bag in the morning and go out for 10 minutes (or longer) at lunch time. Take the bus or tube to work? Why not get off a stop early and complete your commute on foot? If you work in a building with stairs, make a point of going up and down a few flights each time you take a toilet break. However, and whenever you do your walk, make sure you schedule it into your day. Ready to move on Gradually increase your walking time to 30 minutes. Buddy up!

I love to exercise but am aware of the need for balance. Cardio, resistance, together with a mindfulness approach. (That said, I have done a 10k Tough Mudder this year and am always on the lookout for the next challenge).

How we introduced the launch
Trepidation, excitement, turning the dream into reality and both positively beaming.
