Thank you for posting this - I just tried the 3 mile walk and found it really good, nice and sweaty now
Would recommend it to those not into high impact aerobics or difficult to follow dance routines. Good fun!

Just wanted to say - dont underestimate the power of walking to get fit and loose weight.

I was reasonable fit when we bought our dog eighteen months ago but walking him every day meant I lost over half a stone in about 6 months without really trying.

Do it every day and walk briskly some of the time so you can feel your heart pumping. I have no doubt that walking in the fresh air is good for you mentally too.

Thanks for posting, looks fun.

I just tried the One mile - I'm rather hampered by two duff ankles and a duff knee and am paying for physio and a PT to strengthen arms, shoulder, legs and core. I love waking and not being able to go very far means that I now eat like a sparrow to maintain my weight.

I am gradually building up my outdoor walking, and this will be a fun way of raising my heart rate, 'tho I need to be careful with the impact:(. Just managed the 5 minute warm up and will see what repercussions (none I hope) that I get pain wise.

Thankyou for posting those, I've just emailed the links to my stepmum who will find them just what she is looking for to get started.

I'm a big walking fan. My tip, if you haven't got a dog, is to try to pal up with a walking buddy. I go out with my neighbour at 6.20 am Monday - Friday (she does it all 7 days) for a 40 minute brisk walk. It's definitely the walking that helped me get to my goal weight - I lost 3 stone - and keep the weight off for 14 months (so far).


I've also got a Fitbit which I love. Even on the days that I don't power walk with my neighbour I still try to reach 10,000 steps.

Thank you for posting this OP, I've started today with the 1 mile walk and surprised myself that i managed it all the way through. I walk at least 8k steps each day to work and back but this is just what I need to step it up a gear. I'll do the one mile for a week and then try 2!

I really hope this is something I can stick too as I really need it!
