5 /5 Bhullar Graphic: Going for walk has all the benefits you might think it would. It’s a great way to improve or maintain your overall health – just 30 minutes every day can increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat, and boost muscle power and endurance. But walking is also good for the soul – breathing in fresh air, absorbing the world around you, and taking time out just for you. It’s low impact, it requires no equipment other than a good pair of walking shoes, it can be done at any time of day and you can walk at your own pace. And it’s free!
The Mornington Peninsula is the ideal walking destination. With bay beaches, ocean beaches, wetlands, bush tracks, hilltop views, creeks, piers and historical landmarks, there really is something for everyone. So whether you prefer a short 30 minute stroll, setting an energetic pace over several kms, or a long haul half day jaunt, you will find your piece of walking paradise. So get together a group of friends, or the kids, or your dog and pooper scooper, and step into the beautiful outdoors.
