Take a walk in London

With Christmas and the New Year over many people are making resolutions to take more exercise and get fitter. If you over did it with the food and booze during the holiday a useful website to help give you some motivation to shed a few pounds by walking more around London this year is walkit.com.

The site’s aim is to encourage more people to walk by helping them to make informed decisions on when is a good time to walk rather than use a car, bus, tube, train or taxi. They do this by having a search engine that just requires you to enter where you are and where you want to get to, and then a map will come up with the suggested route as well as the distance, estimated time for fast, medium or slow walking, the calories burned at each pace and the estimated CO2 emissions avoided.

Walking is not always the most practical option but its surprising how much ground you can cover during a steady walk and you’ll definitely see more of what’s happening on the streets.
