A positive lockdown

Lockdown isn’t a choice for us, so why not make it a positive experience?

Maybe go for a long walk each day? Or find your passion for baking again?

This situation has been presented to us, so why not make it work for you?

I have discovered a passion for walking, For my permitted period of daily exercise, I go out for 45 mins to an hour most days. I wear a Fitbit and challenge myself to reach the magical 10,000 steps per day. Sometimes I reach it, and sometimes I don’t!

Walking has health benefits. These include:

•  Improving our cardiovascular system
•  Helping with weight loss
•  Strengthening our bones
• Reducing blood pressure

Also, walking helps to brighten our mood. I feel this is very important at this strange and difficult time. Many people are experiencing difficulty with their mental health, so if something as simple as getting out for a walk can help, then let’s embrace it.

Do something positive for you!
