Regular exercise plays an important part in remaining active, maintaining stamina, flexibility and in general well-being. In partnership with the Fitsteps scheme offered by Maldon District Council, trained Health Walkers lead regular walks around Burnham and Southminster [alternate weeks].

Walks are designed at your pace generally over a 2 to 2.5 mile distance.

This valuable activity combats social isolation, enables you to meet new friends and encourages you to undertake regular exercise that you may not do alone.

• Programme of walks of a suitable length lasting an average of between 45 mins – 1 ½ hours
  
• Suitable terrain for all
  
• Routes risk assessed
  
• Front & back leaders so you can walk at your own pace
  
• Opportunity to progress to longer walks
  
• Socialise and meet people
  

Participants will need to wear comfortable clothing and flat shoes.
