Did You Know...

World Upside Down

Walking can turn your world upsidedown!

Walking in the Belfast Hills is a simple and cheap form of physical activity.  It’s also hugely satisfying!

Walking:

  • helps manage your weight

  • reduces anxiety and depression

  • improves your muscle strength

  • keeps your heart strong

Longer, moderately-paced daily walks (40 minutes at 60% to 65% maximum heart rate) are best for losing weight.

Shorter, faster walks (20-25 minutes at 75% to 85% maximum heart rate) are best for conditioning your heart and lungs.
