Britons keen to make a New Year's resolution to improve their health could find a walking holiday in property in France to be one way in which to do so.
Maria Castellina, spokesperson for walking organisation Ramblers, says heading out on foot can be part of a lifestyle overhaul as people's new calendars take to the walls.
She says the simple ways of walking more include using more public transport and reaching the bus stop on foot.
For those heading out to property in France in the new year, walking a relatively short distance could be the first step towards healthier living in 2011.
"Walking just one mile can burn off at least 100 calories," says Ms Castellina.
Beginners can use trainers to get into the habit, while for those who walk regularly, she adds that a good pair of walking boots are the single most important piece of equipment to invest in.
