Walk into happiness
Walking, without a doubt, is one of the best ways to keep you healthy during the menopause. Better still, it is free!
Exercising does not come easy to everyone and especially during the menopause when our energy levels seem to be non-existent. Research has shown that the more active you are, the fewer menopause symptoms you are likely to have.
Walking at a brisk pace is a great calorie burner and will help with so many symptoms of the menopause. Here is what a 30-minute walk three times a week can do for you:

Walking can have a huge impact on our physical and mental wellbeing, calming the mind and body. The most important thing of all is to do something you really enjoy and something you can fit in on a regular basis.
