Nicki's fitness tip: Walking does wonders
Make more of the journey.
If you put a little oomph into it, walking is a great exercise, burning about 180 calories in 30 minutes. Adding hills, sprints or even a few minutes of jogging can increase the amount of calories you burn. Make sure you walk briskly, pretend you're trying to catch a bus, and keep your head up, back straight and swing your arms.
Tips: Give yourself a destination, walk to work, go to pick the kids up on foot. And try setting off late, it will make you walk quicker and burn way more calories.

I'm a great believer in walking and aim for 10,000 steps a day, which is around 5kms. I have a desk job and find that walking every hour or so clears my mind and helps me concentrate. A pedometer is a great way to measure how many steps you walk. *Louise
