I tried going for a walk after eating lunch every day for a week - here’s why I’ll continue to do it

Walking after lunch benefits: Anna on a lunch walk.

At this time of year, there are few things better than a frosty walk. It’s a tradition many enjoy, and in my family, it’s something we do (almost) every weekend after our roast. There’s something magical about pulling on wellies, hats and scarves and heading out to forget about the clearing up for a little while, plus the many benefits of walking after lunch mean I always feel better after some fresh air. That said, it’s not something I’d really consider doing during the week when I have seemingly a million things to do.

That said, it's safe to say that over the past year or so, walking workouts have been having a moment. Hot girl walks, walking desks and silent walking have all gone viral on TikTok, largely because, as well as being easy, free and accessible to all, walking increases fitness, boosts mental health, improves immune function and eases joint pain.
