Active Christchurch Walk Programme
Some helpful advice - Web page
It's a good idea to talk to your doctor if you suffer from any medical condition or have health worries before beginning to walk. Start slowly as you would with any exercise programme and increase the level and distance once you feel comfortable. Remember to walk slowly for five minutes to warm up.
