Ed Shirt, 25, recommends fitting in the 30 minutes wherever you can in the day and splitting it into chunks if that makes it more manageable.<\/p>\n
“Walk before work, on your lunch break or after dinner,” he says. “You don’t have to do all 30 minutes at once either – three 10-minute walks throughout the day add up just the same.”<\/p>\n
Living by the coast in Prestatyn in Denbighshire, Wales, he often sets a timer and picks a landmark to walk to. “I get my half hour in literally just getting on the beach. There’s something about the movement of walking that clears your mind. I love walking for my mental health.”<\/p>\n
He says the key is to make walking part of a daily routine rather than treating it as a workout. “Walking is one of the easiest ways to boost both your physical and mental wellbeing, and once it becomes a habit, you’ll really notice the difference.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
