Time to get fit
8:19am Wednesday 16th January 2013 in Business By Jill Harding
STAFF and residents at Bupa’s Harnham Croft Nursing Home in Salisbury are appealing to the local community to put their best foot forward and take part in a new initiative aimed at encouraging people to incorporate more walking into their daily lives.
Bupa’s Walk to a Well World promotes the physical and mental health benefits of walking and hopes to inspire more than 50,000 Bupa residents, staff and members.
The Bupa report Get Walking, Keep Walking reveals that the number of people walking is in decline and that walking just an extra 15 minutes a day can have significant health benefits, even adding up to three years to life expectancy.
