Healthy Eating Plans and Walking

Eating healthy and exercise go hand in hand. Make regular exercise a part of your life, by finding out which forms of exercise you really enjoy, then building one or more into your life, gradually. Aim for 30-60 minutes of exercise every day.

Eating healthy and exercise: Walking

Walking is great, because it's easy to fit into your day. Leave the car behind sometimes. Get off the bus a stop or two early. Walk to the store, don't drive - but make it brisk enough so that you feel slightly breathless - ambling along won't cut it. If you can cover 2 miles a day, you'll be doing great. Or get a pedometer and keep it strapped on. You're aiming for 10,000 steps, which should include a burst of 4-6000 fast steps. Rethink your schedule to include this.

Healthy eating tip Eat an oat-based cereal for breakfast, before you walk, to give you slow-burning energy. Not sure how much weight you need to lose? Use the BMI Calculator to find out.
