As part of our commitment
to provide sustainable modes of transport, this map is one of a series to help
you lead a healthy and active lifestyle - enjoy our city!
This information aims to help make it easier to squeeze 30 minutes of
activity into a busy day. Exercise can keep your body, heart and mind in better
shape.
You will find some interesting suggested routes around your
neighbourhood that you can either walk or cycle. These plans include routes to
your town centre, shops, train station, bus stops, libraries, community centres
and recreational routes through parks and open spaces. Walking to the shops,
library, the train station or bus stop can become part of a more active
lifestyle.
You can also use the map to create your own individual route and plot
your achievements, by using the scales at the bottom of the map. You can keep
track of your progress by measuring where you walk and the calories you burn,
the time it takes or how long you walk or cycle.
To work out how many calories you use each day on
your walks measure the distance you walk or cycle and use the scale below to
help you calculate it. The table below tells you how many calories you will burn
using any of the routes marked on the maps whether you are walking or cycling.
