How many steps do we need to do daily to stay fit and healthy to age well? Well, the jury is out some still say 10'000 steps many others vary from 7-12'000 steps. One thing is agreed though is daily walking that increases our heart beat a little is beneficial.
I also like the idea of linking walking to daily habits - start early or walk for a minimum of 30 minutes after a meal helps with digestion - whatever you choose step outside and get those steps in daily - we have a walk this Sunday 10am from the Memorial Park cafe - or meet me outside Earlsdon Library at 9:45 prompt.
Carole is taking a break from organising the x 4 monthly walks so this will be the last chance to meet up for a more organised walk. Carole will be doing a number of adhoc walks over the autumn/winter period so email her at carole@gyc.org.uk to get onto the mail list or direct message her to join in a wide variety of walks mainly Tuesday/Friday/Sunday with a variety of starting times. Carole will also arrange another Birmingham Canal Walk in October - so keep checking in on the website or here 😁

The 666 walking trend could get you to your target
