Walking regularly is a great form of exercise and you benefit by improving your health, saving money and by doing your bit for the environment. It is also a fantastic way of exploring your local area and the more out of the way places. Remember your feet can take you to places where nothing else can. Stella Riverside and Riverside Crescent have been developed with walking in mind with a series of high quality pedestrian routes, traffic calming measures and dropped footway crossings ensuring safe pedestrian routes both within the site and to the surrounding areas. So if you live at Stella Riverside or Riverside Crescent why not make use of the excellent footpath routes into and through the site, whilst at the same time saving money, and maybe your life? Evidence suggests that routine casual exercise may actually be better for you than short bursts of intense activity. A brisk one-mile walk in 20 minutes burns around 100 calories - as much as swimming for 10 minutes, playing football for 12 minutes or doing aerobics for 16 minutes. Most people find regular, moderate exercise is easier to build into a busy lifestyle, and of course it requires far less commitment and will power than demanding activities. Walking is one of the cheapest ways of getting around, and the least expensive form of exercise - all you need is a comfortable pair of shoes, and off you go. Just think how much you could save on parking, petrol, bus fares and gym membership if you walked all the short journeys you make every week. Walking could replace nearly 20% of all car journeys that are less than one mile, the equivalent of a 20 minute walk.
