Top tips to Walk All Over Cancer

Warm-up and cool down

Start slow and if you’re planning a long walk, do a few warm-up stretches before and after.

Drink water 

10,000 steps a day is thirsty work. Stay hydrated by drinking water before and after your walk and don’t forget your water bottle whilst you’re out walking!

Pace yourself 

Start with a 20-minute walks then increase gradually. You can easily rack up your steps by making little changes to your lifestyle. For example choosing the stairs.

Wear the right clothing 

Thick cotton socks and sensible, comfortable and lightweight shoes with support are best and remember to consider the weather!

Get enough sleep 

Being more active day-to-day can help improve the quality of your sleep. Make sure you give your body the rest it needs after a long day of stepping!

Use the correct technique 

Walk at a steady pace, swing your arms freely and stand as straight as you can. Your feet should step in a rolling action from the heel to the toe.

Team up

There’s no greater motivation than walking together as a group. Spread the word to your friends and family and get them to sign up too!
