Beginner’s Guide to Walking: How to Start (and Actually Enjoy It)

If you think walking “isn’t for you”, you’re not alone. Many people worry they’re not fit enough, fast enough, or experienced enough.

The truth? Walking is for everyone.

Start small

You don’t need long distances. A 20–30 minute walk is more than enough to begin feeling the benefits.

Wear what’s comfortable

Comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are all you need. No specialist kit required.

Forget pace

Walking isn’t a race. Your pace is the right pace.

Build confidence

One of the biggest barriers for beginners is confidence — knowing where to go and feeling comfortable. Guided walks remove that worry entirely.

Walking should feel enjoyable, not intimidating.
