Walk off your mince pies!

It’s that time of year again when we will all be mince pie munching and generally overindulging in the festive spirit. If you haven’t already why not pop round and have a winter-warmer and a mince pie with a neighbour. We sometimes lose track of one another when it’s cold as we scurry indoors from the cold so it’s worth making an extra effort to keep up with your street during these winter months!

With millions of mince pies being sold each week in the run up to Christmas it’s not surprising that over the festive period we put on an average of 5 lbs! Walking in your neighbourhood or to work is a great way to combat the season’s extra pounds – you may even make some new friends along the way. You could make it a community event and get your street out on a Big Boxing Day walk.

The Living Streets mince pie calculator is here to keep you walking during the festive season. Just plug in how long you have walked, type in your weight (to make the estimation more accurate), and the calculator will tell you how many mince pies your walking has burned off. You’ll also be in with a chance to win a handheld walking GPS, so count your pies today.
