Reg­u­lar walk­ing can help: 
• Reduce the risk of, or help man­age blood sug­ar lev­els and type 2 diabetes 
• Main­tain or improve blood pres­sure, cho­les­terol, and reduce car­dio­vas­cu­lar disease 
• Reduce the risk of some cancers 
• Pre­vent unhealthy weight gain and help with weight loss 
• Devel­op and main­tain phys­i­cal and men­tal wellbeing 

It’s easy to get involved: 
• If you can’t walk all the way, use pub­lic trans­port and get off the bus, train, tram or fer­ry a few stops ear­li­er and walk the rest of the way to work 
• If you do need to dri­ve, leave the car a kilo­me­tre or two from your des­ti­na­tion and walk the rest of the way 
• Take a half-hour walk at lunchtime 
• Where pos­si­ble use the stairs rather than esca­la­tors or the lift 
• If you sit at a desk, be sure to get up and walk around at least once every hour 
• If work­ing from home, make sure you take a break and walk reg­u­lar­ly through­out the day
