Struggling to concentrate? 🧠 Take a walk! 😎

When your brain feels foggy, distracted, and overstimulated, it’s likely suffering from brain fatigue.

It's usually caused by constant noise, stress, and information overload.

A study in Scotland found that walking in green spaces helps calm the brain, reducing frustration and increasing mental clarity. 🌿

Using mobile EEG brain scanners, researchers discovered that busy urban environments trigger stress, while parkland and nature walks shift the brain into a calmer, more meditative state.

This effortless engagement with nature helps restore focus and attention, allowing the brain to recover, reflect, and reset. 🔄

If your mind feels overstimulated, try walking in nature with WALX.

Big gang on the walk today.

Good to have Susan and Paul back out after some injury time.

Beautiful to see the colours exploding around the Park. Spring is here.

We stopped to say hello to Janette. Always in our memories.

Thanks to Kelly and team at Rosemary on the Park for refreshments.

PS Pancake Tuesday today 😋, don't forget 😉

Parlick mini-adventure

2hr 15 min walk time. 4hrs home-to-home.

A wonderfully fulfilling walk today, and still the whole afternoon left to enjoy.

We saw walkers, runners, paragliding and gliders.

Our views reached around from Blackpool Tower, to Rossall Point Watch Tower, Heysham Power Station, Morecambe Bay, the Lake District Fells, Yorkshire Peaks, Pendle Hill, Longridge Fell, Darwen Tower, Rivington Pike, Winter Hill, Snowdonia and back around to Southport and Beacon Fell.

It was neither warm, nor cold, that in-between place that was very conducive to striding out and up the fells.

We experienced Vitamin-See in abundance.

See individual photos for descriptions.

Can 30 second walks really improve your health? 😮

New research from the University of Milan says yes! Short bursts of walking, just 10 to 30 seconds at a time, can burn up to 60% more energy than walking the same distance in one go.

These are called 'micro walks' that break up sedentary time, boosting metabolism and reducing health risks associated with sitting, like heart disease and diabetes.

Here's the benefit of micro walks:

🌟 Short walks help you burn more calories.

🌟 Boosts circulation and keep your blood flowing.

🌟 Reduces stiffness in your joints and muscles.

🌟 Supports mental health by clearing your mind and lowering stress.

🌟 Easy to fit into your day without needing long workouts!

“The results emphasise how much breaking up sedentary time can positively impact your health,” says Kelly Sturm, D.P.T.

Busy day? Even 2-5 minutes every hour makes a difference! 💚
