5 Tips for getting Outside More

1. Walking Apps

There are hundreds of walking apps available for download so you are sure to find one that suits you. Here are a couple of suggested:

Pokemon Go is hands down one of my favourite apps. Not only does it allow me to complete my childhood dream of being a pokemon trainer, but it’s also healthy to play as you can’t sit around while playing. If your not familiar with it never fear the game has in-built challenges so you don’t have to have a prior interest.

Zombie Run! In all honest I haven’t downloaded this app yet but it’s definitely on my to try list. The reason I haven’t done so already is more to do with my complete lack of interest in running then the app itself. But if your interested in that kind of thing this might be the app for you.

2. Walk the Dog

If you have a dog then you already know how social walking them can be. Complete strangers will stop you in the street and if not talk to you, they will certainly talk about dogs! Don’t own a dog then why not offer to walk a relatives or friends or neighbours dog for them? And if you know absolutely no dog owners then head down to your local Dogs Trust (or animal charity of your chose) trust me their always on the lookout for dog walkers.

3. Walk the Child

That’s right it’s time to grab your niece or nephew and head to the pack. Don’t forget your wellies though as you’ll probably be jumping in a lot of puddles and kicking the fallen leaves. Just make sure you get permission first…no one likes being accused of kidnap.

4. Grab a Mate or Family Member

If you don’t like the idea of walking alone then grab a mate or a family member to have some alone time with. Even if it’s just a quick walk round the block or walking into town instead of getting the bus. Having someone to talk to can be a great distraction as well as good for our mental health.

5. Go on a day Trip

We all have places near to home that we want to go to but never do. So make time and plan that trip. Take the family or a friend with you or do it alone whichever suits you. Just don’t forget your camera! Having things to look forward to is so important and combining that with some healthy exercise is ‘doubly good’.
