A popular walking scheme based on the Wirral peninsular, Merseyside is to be extended in 2012. The ever-popular Wirral Health Walks scheme is to be expanded to include a regular weekly walk. The scheme is aimed at those who currently take little or no exercise, offering walks for beginners and is part of the national Walking for Health scheme. This additional walk will begin in the picturesque town of West Kirby each Wednesday, starting at noon.
Get out and Get Active
According to Chris Meaden, Wirral Council’s cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism, January is an ideal time to effect a positive change in your lifestyle, and that by donning your outdoor clothing and getting active, you are heading in the right direction. “New Year is always a time when people start thinking about exercising off their festive excesses,” commented Meaden. “A decent walk is the best way to start exercising, especially for those who aren’t used to regular exercise.” There are a number of walks taking place across the borough, so there should be walks that are “local for everyone” confirmed Meaden.
Further Afield
The national Walking for Health scheme supports and operates a number of walking groups across the country. If you were looking to meet new people and get active, it would be a great idea to get in touch with your local scheme. All that is required is a robust set of footwear, appropriate outdoor clothing, and the determination to make a difference.
