Walking
Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

Walking is a simple but effective exercise and improves aerobic fitness and overall health. If done regularly it could help to lessen your chances of getting cancer, heart disease and even catching a cold. It's also a great way to keep weight off and lift your mood, so aim to walk 30 minutes five to seven times a week to gain all the benefits. Take the kids to the local park, countryside or nature reserve. They might enjoy spotting the wildlife plus the exercise and fresh air will do them good.
