Medway believes that walking is the secret to a happier and healthier lifestyle. This is true for both the Ramblers Wellbeing Walks and the Mediterranean HealthWalks. No matter your age, income, gender, or ability, almost everyone can do it. It is the simplest and most approachable type of exercise that you can incorporate into your daily routine.
Join our volunteer-led walking program to encourage Medway residents to take a group stroll. There are several walking options, ranging in length from 10 to 90 minutes. All you need are a pair of shoes and the right level of fitness for the walk you want to take.
Whether it’s the distance, the terrain, or the environment, each walk has a distinct feel, and we’ve created the grading system to assist you in choosing the best walking group for you.
The location of Medway Health Walks is listed below the website’s   link.

The top 6 reasons local walkers have enrolled in our walking program
- We take the helm.
When you have a walk leader doing it for you, you do n’t have to rely on figuring out how to find your way around an obstacle.
- enhances your mental health
People will join the group for the same reasons you do, whether it’s to get outside more frequently, take advantage of the nearby woodland and greenspace, make new friends, or lose weight. Regular exercise has been shown to lower the risk of anxiety, stress, and depression. Positive steps to enhancing your wellbeing can be encouraged by feeling more connected to your community.
- enhances social health
You might become discouraged at the thought of walking for another hour by yourself. You’re more likely to continue walking as part of a life style change if you commit to trying out new activities like walking groups and interacting with the community. Your social well-being and loneliness can both be reduced by walking.
- a break from the stresses of daily life
You can easily cover more ground without even realizing it when you’re out exploring a new location or talking about last week’s episode of Countryfile  with your new walking partner.
- Physical health and encouragement
If you do n’t know the terrain, the idea of walking on uncharted paths can seem difficult. Our walkers and walk leaders can give you advice on what to expect along the way because they will already have a route planned. Imagine finishing a new hill after being distracted by someone who encouraged you to keep going. You will begin to experience the physical health advantages that walking can provide once you reach the top, such as managing a healthy weight, strengthening your muscles, and lowering your risk of developing some serious conditions.
- Friendship
To combat loneliness, some people join walking groups as one of the reasons. You can be sure to make friends by joining a walking group.
