Did you know that regular walking helps relieve feelings of depression and anxiety? Plus walking to work has shown that is reduces people from being absent from work or taking sick days off. Plus it helps the environment and reduces car dependancy.

You can walk to work all the way if you can, walk around the car park at lunchtime or even walk up and down the stairs at work, or if you sit a lot then get up every half an hour and just walk around and stretch your legs. Just think how much exercise you will do and how much weight you can lose?

Walking is great Cardio for your body, mind heart and soul !!!
