There's just something about an autumn walk. Nothing beats a stroll on a crisp, clear day, freshly fallen leaves crunching underfoot and the hint of a chill in the air. While the promise of cosy winter days on the horizon may not make you feel like exercising, we have good news: walking is a science-backed way to harness the mental and physical health benefits of working out.
It's certainly having a moment, right now. You don't have to scroll too far on social media to find Gen Z (and more) extolling the virtues of the humble stroll - take the idea of #hotgirlwalks, for example. And studies show that more of us than ever are walking for fun. Something that was such a lifeline to so many of us in the pandemic has translated into a regular habit for some, with over 70% of us walking for leisure at least once a month, according to a recent survey.
