Exercising on a Budget

There are plenty of ways to increase your movement levels which are either free or very low-cost. You don't need to have specialist or expensive equipment to get moving.

Walking for health is a great way to add more movement into your daily routine. Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and become healthier.

Sometimes overlooked as a form of exercise, walking briskly can help you build stamina, improve your fitness and make your heart healthier.
