What else do you need to know about Wellbeing Walks…
What should you wear for a Wellbeing Walk?
To help you get the most out of your walk, we recommend wearing comfortable footwear that won’t rub.
As we all know, the weather in Blackpool can change quickly, so dressing in layers is a great way to stay comfortable and prepared for anything.
It’s also a good idea to wear sun protection, as you’ll be spending time outdoors—especially in warmer weather when SPF is particularly important.
Make sure to bring a bottle of water with you to stay hydrated along the way.
And as the weather can be a little unpredictable, it’s always worth popping a raincoat or umbrella in your bag—just in case!
What level of fitness do you need to have to take part?
Our walks are open to everyone, whatever your age or ability, and are especially suited to those looking to become more active at their own pace.
We encourage you to walk at a speed that feels right for you. Our walk leaders and volunteers are always on hand, moving throughout the group to offer support and make sure everyone feels comfortable and included.
If you have a heart condition or any existing health concerns and don’t exercise regularly, we recommend speaking with your GP before taking part so you can join us safely and with confidence.
If you’re attending through our Exercise Referral programme, please check with your instructor first.
