The Dewsbury East Walking Guide
Whether you’re walking for fitness, to spend time outdoors or just going to the shops, it’s a great way to improve your wellbeing. If you walk regularly, you may notice improvements in your mood and sleep patterns; reduced stress, fatigue and anxiety; improved self-esteem and even clearer thinking. Your physical health might improve too with lower blood pressure, better heart health and less chance of conditions like diabetes.
