The benefits of walking
We've covered this topic a lot in previous posts, but what it boils down to is that moving keeps both our bodies active, but also our minds! Research has proven time and time again that simply going for a leisurely walk each day can help with chronic mental health issues, such as anxiety and stress, and even help with sleep patterns.
Walking is a low impact activity that is accessible to so many people, and it is one that should be promoted as often as possible. A great way to help change people's perception of it and to help build a routine is to run a walking challenge with us!
Step Challenges
One of the easiest ways to get everyone involved this year is to run a walking challenge for your family, friends and community. Walking has so many wonderful health and mental wellbeing benefits, and is one of the easiest forms of exercise to get started with.
Creating your own challenge takes minutes with Big Team Challenge's 'Challenge Creator'. This allows you to choose how many participants can join, how long the challenge lasts for, what route you can walk and much more.
Our New Virtual Walks
To celebrate the UK and National Walking Month, we have created 4 new routes, each specifically around ones of the 4 countries.
