Walking is good for you! A 30 minute brisk walk each day can help reduce the risk of a heart attack and 10,000 steps a day is the recommended number of steps needed to keep in shape.
We are actively encouraging people to walk to and from the University. It is by far the most popular form of transport for UEA staff and students with 15% of our community regularly walking to campus. We are sure there are many more people who could benefit from regular exercise and this inexpensive form of transport.
On average it takes 20 minutes to a walk one mile. If you live within one of the areas identified here, why not time your journey by car at the peak, don't forget to include the time taken to walk to the car, warm the car up or get it out of the garage and the time spent at the UEA looking for a parking space.
If you can't stop driving altogether why not commit to walking at least 3 times a week? It really will make a big difference to your health and wealth and will enable you to contribute to our efforts to reduce emissions. The UEA walking map provides information on key routes to UEA along with a number of sample walks. The distance, time taken and the number of steps used our a feature of our sample walks.
