Donning ladies fitness wear and heading out for a walk is the ideal way to burn off some of the calories of a big Christmas dinner, it has been said.

Walking is great for everyone as you can choose your own pace and it gets people talking, explains Ruth Somerville of Ramblers.

"Instead of the family slouching round the telly on a post-pie sugar rush slump, you'll be out getting the oxygen and serotonins whizzing round your bodies and minds," she commented.

Walking can help to cut obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, while lifting the mood and being accessible to all, Ms Somerville continued.

"It's so versatile that you can do it however you want to," she added, pointing out that just 30 minutes of brisk walking five times per week can keep you fit.

"Walking is a really good and cheap way of spending your leisure time," Ms Somerville concluded.
