BRISK WALKING BENEFITS YOUR HEALTH

We all know how important it is to be active. The good news is you don’t have to go to the gym or start expensive fitness programmes, walking briskly counts too!

Just ten minutes of brisk walking every day can get your heart pumping and can make you feel more energetic, as well as lowering your risk of serious illnesses like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Going for a brisk walk is a great way to clear your head and improve your mood.

Active 10's are simple to fit into your day, from taking the dog out to going for a lunchtime walk there are lots of opportunities to include brisk walking into your daily routine.

This app relies on your phone’s inbuilt sensors to measure your activity so you may experience varying levels of accuracy especially in older devices/operating systems. To improve accuracy, we recommend keeping your phone in a pocket close to your body rather than in a loose coat pocket or bag.

It's free (which is always good) and useful for recording the minutes that you have walked. It also keeps track of any brisk walking and shows all of the information in an easy to understand format. This app also shows when you've completed the recommended amount of exercise. A possible downside is that it focuses on minutes walked rather than distances, so it may not be for those that like that sort of detail. But, for me, this is a great app.

Been using the app just fine for about 1 month, but after yesterday's (27 Mar) update it no longer opens past the splash screen. I've tried rebooting, reinstalling etc. Redmi Note 8T. Edit - a more recent update and it's now working again, but of course I've lost all of my progress and achievements. Pretty please try not to break things again!

Thank you for recognising the problem. I have reinstalled the app and it now seems to work as intended. If the improvement continues, maybe the rating will get another star....... This has been really useful, though frustrating when it misses some records and seems to insist on working only when on line. However, now uninstalled - even after uninstalling and reinstalling it now refuses to open. Please sort it out so I can get it back to being useful.
