National Walking Month
May is National Walking Month in the UK - a time to embrace the simple yet powerful act of walking. Whether you're strolling through Kent’s scenic seafront or exploring local parks, this month offers an opportunity to enhance your physical and mental wellbeing.
Let's delve into what National Walking Month entails, explore available resources, and discover how the imabi can support your walking experience.
What is National Walking Month?
National Walking Month is an annual campaign led by the UK charity Living Streets, dedicated to promoting walking as a free, accessible, and enjoyable form of exercise. The initiative encourages individuals, communities, and organisations to incorporate more walking into their daily routines, highlighting its benefits for health, the environment, and local economies.
A key feature of the campaign is the #Try20 challenge, which invites people to walk for 20 minutes each day throughout May. This initiative aims to help participants establish lasting healthy habits.
