Walk to Work Week
Starting today and continuing until Friday, commuters are being challenged to walk to work as part of Living Streets’ Walk to Work Week 2011.
The event is an annual reminder that walking all or part of the commute is fun, green and healthy and can be slotted in to even the busiest lives. By walking for just 30 minutes a day during the working week, whether that’s on the way to, from or during work, means meeting the governments recommended level of daily activity to transform your health. In addition to the known health benefits, regular exercise such as walking is known to boost performance at work and counter lethargy, stress and depression. Campaigns like this – and Ramblers’ Get Walking Keep Walking – aim to change this by encouraging people to incorporate walking into their daily routine and supporting them with tips, advice and motivation.
