New research for National Walking Month has revealed that almost 40% of us spend our lunch breaks eating at our desks. Gillian Russell hears from Living Streets, the UK's walking charity, about why it's important to reclaim our lunch breaks and get out walking.
Participants in the Paths For All "Step Count Challenge" talk about why they signed up for it, how many steps they are managing to do and whether it's changed their attitude to walking.
Surviving Or Thriving? Lee Knifton, Head of The Mental Health Foundation Scotland, talks about their Survive To Thrive campaign. Why do so many of us just seem to accept high levels of stress and anxiety as the price we have to pay for keeping our lives on track and what can we all do - in society and as individuals - to move from survive to thrive?
Trail Of Two Hearts: Kieran Sandwell is currently walking right round the coast of Britain - an amazing feat for anyone but all the more so given that he had a heart transplant just a few years ago. Suzy Beaumont joined him as he walked along the Moray coast to hear his extraordinary story.
