Give yourself something to aim for…

Do you find it hard to motivate yourself to be active during the colder months?

Studies show that it is more vital than ever to get outdoors when days are shorter, and our mood tends to dip so maybe setting yourself a goal to aim for will help give you a reason to get walking this winter.

One great way to motivate yourself is to sign up for a challenge event in the future that you then need to work towards. Walking challenges are perfect as they present the need to build your physical fitness but also provide brilliant experiences where you forge relationships and get a real sense of achievement. That goes for the training too.

Walking is an exercise that’s often overlooked. But it has lots of health benefits, including helping build stamina, burning excess calories, and making your heart healthier. It’s also great for your mental health. When you go for a walk, mood-boosting endorphins are released that can help reduce stress levels and anxiety. Spending time outside and in nature can also quieten your mind and help you relax.

So, every step you take towards your challenge training is also making you healthy and happier! Win win!
