WALK this way!

In need of a lift? Well, we’ve got great news because lacing up your trainers and striding out could help. Low-to-moderate exercise, such as walking, is most effective against depression – even more than high-intensity activities such as running, found UK research.

And the best bit? You don’t need to go out for hours – just 10 minutes a day can make a big difference. ‘It’s a great starting point,’ says Lisa Gunn, mental health prevention lead at Nuf eld Health. ‘This can boost mental alertness and energy, and lift your mood. Those 10 minutes will distract you and can offer valuable time to re ect or switch off.’ So, whatever your preferred style of walking, here’s how to boost your body and mind.

SPEED

If you feel like pushing yourself, go for a power walk (also known as a speed walk). The brisker you move, the more calories you'll burn. 'Plus, speed walking will deliver a bigger endorphin rush, making you feel fabulous faster,' explains personal trainer Kayla Itsines.

+ BOOST YOUR MOOD To increase your happiness quota even more, Kayla suggests combining brisk walking with something that makes you feel good, such as listening to your favourite upbeat music or podcast.
