A rambling charity has told parents a good way to get the whole family fit is to try new activities such as walking.
"Walking is a great way to get back to fitness, as it places very low strain on the body compared to other forms of exercise, making it suitable for almost anyone to start," Maria Castellina, a spokesperson for Ramblers, said.
She added that working parents can also get many benefits from walks in the great outdoors. According to Ms Castellina, this value for money activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as lessening the risk of bone fractures and osteoarthritis.
Ms Castellina said that parents can improve their "strength and balance" by walking either as a family group or with other adults in their free time when little ones are at kids camps, which would offer a welcome break!
In addition, Wake Forest University recently conducted a study which discovered adults who were obese and had heart problems could use weight loss and walking to increase their mobility by up to 20 per cent.
