Tips for building more walking into your daily routine

According to government guidelines, adults need at least 150 minutes exercise a week but many of us struggle to build this level of physical activity into our busy lives – 39% of us don’t, according to the British Heart Foundation. Walking short, local journeys is a simple, free and easy way to boost your activity levels.
