People living with Parkinson's are benefiting from a new Nordic walking programme launched through a partnership between Dorset Council Health and Activity Team, Kingston Lacy National Trust and Parkinson's UK.

The first session was a great success, bringing people together to learn new skills, stay active and enjoy the benefits of exercising in nature.

It doesn't matter what you're wearing on your feet, just get out there and move more!

You only need 7,000 to 8,000 steps a day to meet the recommended guidelines.

How will you reach your steps today? Take a walk on the beach, enjoy a stroll in the countryside, or head into the shops.

Whatever you choose, it all counts. The important thing is to try and move a little more each day.
