One of the most powerful things you can do for yourself today is to go for a walk.
You'll get more energy.
Your mood will improve.
You'll sleep better.
And you'll be helping to prevent heart disease, diabetes and cancer.
Every step counts.

It's Wednesday. It's hump day. It's dark. It's cold.
But do you know what can turn your day around? A walk.
You can walk with music, with silence, alone, with someone and for no reason at all.
Wrap up and head out.
A walk can change your mood, your energy and your day.

One of the best ways to get to know someone is to go on a walk with them.
Your body relaxes, your mind opens up and conversation starts flowing.
So our questions to you are:
👣 Who have you been on a walk with?
👣 Who should you go on a walk with?
Your body relaxes, your mind opens up and conversation starts flowing.

As the days get shorter, we're thinking about what we need to walk and wheel safely and comfortably during the darker months.
Bright or reflective high-visibility clothing
A headtorch
Comfortable shoes
A warm and rainproof coat

We want to get Scotland walking and wheeling. Everyone, Everywhere, Everyday.
We don't mean everywhere, everywhere. Because who has time?
But if our towns, cities and rural areas are designed and managed for walking and wheeling, the benefits are huge.

Have you heard about silent walking?
It's where you do not listen to music or map directions. Experts suggest it might help you reduce stress and appreciate your surroundings more. So next time, you're heading out maybe leave the headphones at home.

I walked to the shops today in the sunshine. #SmallStepsBigImpact
The sun’s shining. A perfect excuse to leave the car behind. This week, walk or wheel for one local journey you’d normally drive.
It might feel like a small change, but that's how you start new habits. One journey at a time.
