Walk in the Park
Have you ever thought it would be a good idea to get out
more and enjoy the fresh air but never had the confidence to go it alone?
Then why not come along to the weekly walking groups in
Callander and Aberfoyle. The walk programmes on offer are organised in blocks
of 10 weeks and information is available at local
doctors’ surgeries, pharmacies, the McLaren Leisure Centre, shops and places of
interest.
The walks are short (approx 30 – 45 minutes) and are aimed
at people who haven’t exercised for some time, who are recovering from illness
or an operation and for groups such as Mother and Toddlers to get out and enjoy
the fresh air. They are very informal and there
is no requirement to register in advance.
Regular exercise and becoming more active can provide the following benefits:
A healthier heart and help with weight lossImproved mood and less depression and anxietyIncreased confidence and the opportunity to meet new peopleAll walks are free
and are led by a trained walk leader. They are short in duration, on
pavements or hard surfaced footpaths, buggy friendly and don’t involve
any mountaineering!
