Uttlesford Health Walks [This is a Walking for Health Accredited Scheme]
All Health Walks in Uttlesford follow guidelines set by the Walking for Health programme - WHI.
Walking can:
- Make you feel good
- Give you more energy
- Reduce stress and help you sleep better
- Keep your heart 'strong' and reduce blood pressure
- Help manage your weight
What should I wear?
Good pair of shoes is the only equipment required - any shoes that are comfortable, provide good support and don't cause blisters.
Loose fitting clothing allows you to move more freely. Wear thin layers rather than heavy, chunky clothing!
If it's a hot day take a bottle of water, a sun hat and sun cream.
