It's that time of year again! 🐧 The safest way to move during icy weather is to waddle like a penguin.

As we head into winter with temperatures starting to plummet this week, we are urging you to practice your waddle to help prevent slips and falls - Adopting a penguin walk is a safer way to get about in the cold weather as it could help keep you more stable and minimise the risk of losing balance or slipping on the ice.

Step 1 – Legs out
Step 2 – Soft knee bend
Step 3 – Arms out

Top tips to walk like a penguin:

· Bend slightly and keep your knees loose.

· Point your feet out slightly.

· Extend your arms at your sides.

· Walk flat-footed, taking short steps.

· Keep your centre of gravity over your feet.
