Walking in a group can really help you to get started, stay motivated and enjoy walking.
It only takes 2 to start up a group
The benefits of walking with a group:
1. Walking group members can help to keep each other motivated. If your enthusiasm is low other members can encourage you to go for a walk.
2. Being a member of a walking group is sociable and fun. Walking with a group can feel more like a social event or special time for you. Even walking at a brisk pace you can chat with your friends.
3. Joining a walking group will help you to discover new walks in your area and further afield. Walking groups often explore different routes and areas, so while your getting fit your're also getting to know new routes and places.
4. Walking in a group can help you to feel safer and give you the confidence to walk in different areas and at different times.
