The walks start at under a mile in length on the flat, to more challenging countryside walks of 3 miles plus. There are regular walks on every day of the week, and a calendar of special one-off walks on everything from hedgehog spotting, to free tours of our local museums and art walks. The award-winning scheme has been providing walks all over the city for over 12 years and has helped thousands of local people to make new friends and improve their physical and mental health. All the walks are led by trained Volunteer Healthwalk Leaders who know the route and help everyone get the best out of their walk.

It s surprisingly easy to get enough exercise to significantly benefit your health and wellbeing. The illustration below shows you what health experts recommend, but the important thing is to build on what you are doing already and minimise the amount of time you spend sitting. Sedentary behaviour has a negative effect on health and research suggests you should break up bouts of sitting every 30 minutes by getting up and moving even if it s just to go and make a cup of tea or do a few stretches! Moderate level activity is any which raises your heartbeat, makes you breathe a bit faster, feel a bit warmer, but where you can still talk comfortably. CHILDREN AND Young People ADULTS OLDER PEOPLE Benefits 60 MIN Of moderate to vigorous activity at least daily, and including exercise that strengthens bones and muscles. 30 MIN 5 or more days a week of moderate intensity activity, to include activities to improve muscle strength on at least two days a week. 30 MIN 5 or more days a week of moderate intensity activity, including exercise that helps with balance and co-ordination. Healthy weight Flexibility Prevent diabetes & cancer Reduce stress Make new friends Halve risk of heart attack & stroke Improved energy For more information about recommended activities levels the following websites are useful: livewell/fitness and 09

Anniversary Ambassadors Our Active for Life Ambassadors, recruited to champion the value of living an active lifestyle, are fantastic role models for those wishing to get and stay active. One such Ambassador is Win Herring who is one of the most senior of our ambassadors and represents perfectly the value of being active in older age. 90% of participants stated Active for Life helped them connect with people in their community. Win is pictured here with fellow Golden Oldies at Dance Active 2013 (second right). At 86 years young, Win participates weekly in both line dancing and gentle exercise and is truly inspirational in her belief in the importance of staying active and her commitment to doing so. She is a founder member and Chair of the Golden Oldies; a group of Bevendean residents who have been meeting since 2007 to enjoy exercise-to-music sessions.
