Last year National Fitness Day encouraged more than 10 million people to get active.<\/h2>\n

The day is a celebration of health and fitness and highlights the role physical activity plays in making us healthier. The campaign, led by UK Active<\/a> aims at raising awareness and motivating the nation to get up and get moving.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s National Fitness Day theme is \u2018Your Health is for Life\u2019<\/strong> \u2013 which emphasises that the day isn\u2019t just about a one off moment in time but about taking small steps towards a lifestyle that can protect and promote your health.<\/p>\n

Feel Good Suffolk<\/strong> knows that getting active isn\u2019t always easy and for lots of people in the UK getting up and getting active is beset with difficulty. We have a range of advice and support to help you to get moving, whether that\u2019s referring into our 1-2-1 support or just getting the lowdown on what\u2019s available locally, we can help. It\u2019s certainly worth having a look at our Be Active pages,<\/a> which has links to national and local initiatives. Like Parkrun, walking and cycling routes and the well-loved \u2018Wellbeing Walks\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Walk for your wellbeing<\/h3>\n

One of the easiest ways to get moving is to go for a walk. A regular walk can help people in all sorts of wonderful ways. From lowering anxiety and stress levels to boosting your energy levels walking can have a big impact. Walking also builds stamina and helps people manage a myriad of health conditions, not to mention improving the quality of sleep.<\/p>\n

How many steps?<\/h3>\n

Not all steps are equal and tracking every step isn\u2019t necessarily the most effective way of improving your fitness. The \u201810,000 steps a day\u2019 mantra isn\u2019t always doable or feasible and it is important to know the difference between low intensity steps and moderate intensity.<\/p>\n

In practice, moderate-intensity means around 100 steps a minute. But obviously, this may differ depending on your ability levels, and this step rate should be kept up for at least 10 minutes.<\/strong><\/p>\n
