Forget paying expensive gym memberships and doing complicated workouts. Under a new NHS England programme, a simple 30-minute walk daily could soon earn discounts, vouchers, and other exciting rewards—all while improving one's health.
Set to launch next year as England's 10-year health plan, this scheme rewards participants for walking roughly 26 miles—the equivalent of a marathon—over the month in exchange for rewards. The participants will be using their smartphones and smartwatches to track their activity, making it easier for people to record their progress while staying motivated.
