| WHO IS A NEW WALKER? | | Anyone who is starting out to walk with their family, or to explore Australia through family activities. Maybe you've always been interested but never found the time. |
Which walks are Best? The best walks are ones you enjoy, and are happy to do 3 or 4 times a week. There's no need to overextend yourself trying to be too adventurous, remember you're just starting out. A good 45 minute health walk that gets you a little breathless 3 times a week is an ideal starting point. |
DID YOU KNOW? | walking is more popular than soccer or cycling. The only activity more popular is swimming. |
|
| Who can I walk with? You don't HAVE to walk with anyone if you'd rather go alone till you become more confident. You can easily join a walking club, walk your dog (or a neighbour's), you can even walk to the supermarket and back. |
Keep on going, and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I never heard of anyone ever stumbling on something sitting down. - Charles F. Kettering |
