Power walking — or brisk walking — is the most underrated form of exercise in the country. Yet according to the NHS, a brisk 30-minute walk burns roughly 150 calories and engages 80% of your muscles, with zero joint impact. Diana makes it a proper discipline on Mademoiselle Bulle.
You'll find 4-to-12-week programmes, posture guides to avoid common mistakes, and gear comparisons (trainers, poles, GPS watches). Accessible from just 15 minutes a day, power walking suits beginners, pregnant women, and anyone returning to exercise after a break. The NHS recommends 150 minutes of moderate activity per week: three brisk walks tick that box.
No gym membership needed, no expensive kit required. Just a pair of decent trainers and the willingness to move.
