HOW often do you go out for a walk? Perhaps you made a special effort
on Boxing Day, to walk off those extra Christmas calories, but now that the time tor resolutions is here, remember... a walk is for life, not just for Christmas. Natural England, the champion
for the natural environment, wants those setting New Year resolutions
J ^ i e more active and make use of North West's great outdoors by
joining the “Outdoor Gym” in 2008. Sir Martin Doughty, chair man of Natural England, said: “Walking for pleasure shouldn’t be saved for once a year. Parks, rights of way and Eng
land's unique wildlife and land scapes are all there to be enjoyed and the views are substantially bet ter than those you get from a tread
mill. What’s more, they’re often free.”
Earlier this year. Natural Eng
land announced that 31,500 walk leaders have been trained national ly to help encourage people to get active and stay active in the out doors through its “Walking the Way to Health Initiative” (WHI), a scheme open and available to all. Dr William Bird, Natural Eng
land's health adviser, said: “I t ’s been shown that the great outdoors is the best motivator to keep people walking and active. “It’s also the easiest form of exer
cise to make part of your daily rou tine and the significant effect it can have on reducing or coping with stress really can make a difference to people’s lives.” Natural England teams around
England have put together a selec tion of great places to explore in
www.cIitheroeadvertiser.co.uk Weekendplus
the great outdoors wherever you live. For more information and for a list of WHI walks visit:
www.nat-
uralengland.org.uk and click on the Breathing Places website, or visit:
www.countrysideaccess.gov.uk/ for more maps of walks in your region, listed under the Things to Do sec tion. Here are Natural England’s 10
reasons why you should “Join the Outdoor Gym”: 1. Walking in your local park or
in the great outdoors available on your doorstep is one of the greenest ways to exercise as it doesn't leave a carbon footprint. 2. The outdoors also provides
great opportunities for wildlife spotting - join the two million peo ple who have used the Natural England and BBC website which provides links to great places to
A warm but cold end

walk and explore near you - all you need is your postcode. Visit:
www.naturalengland.org.uk and click on “Breathing Places”. 3. Exercising outside can improve
concentration for several hours afterwards and makes you more resilient to stress or helps cope with stress. 4. £2.9 billion has been assigned
to environmental schemes in the countryside between now and 2013. This is your money being used for environmental benefits - get out there and enjoy it! 5. If you walk for 30 minutes a
day you can burn off 2,000 calories a week (the equivalent of six Mars bars) or 150 calories per mile. That may not seem like a lot, but walk ing and keeping fit also increases your metabolism so i t ’s good for you even when you’re not doing it.
Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, January 10th, 2008 23 V Fancy joining the outdoor gym? G. Your stress levels fall within
minutes of contact with nature - good for body and mind. 7. Walking crosses all generations
and everyone can get involved. Research has shown that if children haven’t had the opportunity to be in the natural environmental on their own before the age of 11 they’re unlikely to use it in later life and therefore benefit from the stress relieving qualities the out doors can bring. 8. Walking protects our joints
from wear and tear thanks to mus cle build-up. 9. Wherever you are in England,
you are never more than 50 miles from a National Trail. 10. Walking improves your
immune system for up to 24 hours after a walk, which can help pre vent you from catching a cold.
