Walking for Health

Walking is a great way to get fit and to reap the benefits of a more active lifestyle. The Corby Borough has a wealth of natural green space including local woods and a country park, providing a variety of settings for walking.

• Walking for Health brings many Benefits including:
• Greater levels of fitness
• Keeping you independent for longer
• Increased flexibility
• Improved heart and lung condition

• Increased sense of wellbeing

Led Health Walks are an ideal opportunity to walk with like-minded people and give you the motivation to take part. A number of organised group Health Walks take place regularly in rural and town centre locations and are Free to join. Walks generally last between 30-60 minutes. Corby Active has produced a Local Guide to Health Walks detailing general advice, a timetable and maps of local walking routes.
