Men’s Health Week (9 - 15 June 2025) is a timely reminder to take charge of your wellbeing — and getting active is one of the most effective steps you can take. As men age, staying physically active becomes even more important for maintaining strength, energy, and overall health. Walking is a simple, low-impact way to support your physical and mental wellbeing, and it fits easily into a busy lifestyle.
Joining a walking group is a great way to stay motivated, meet others, and build a sense of camaraderie — especially during life transitions like retirement. For those who prefer to go solo, a Personal Walking Plan offers a structured, achievable way to increase your activity and meet physical activity guidelines.
Whether you’re walking with mates or on your own, now is the perfect opportunity to start a new routine that supports your long-term health, resilience, and quality of life.
And, if you’ve been thinking about changing your physical activity habits, consider this the sign you’ve been waiting for. When you register for a Heart Foundation Walking group or start a Personal Walking Plan, you’ll go in the running to win one of 400 pairs of Heart Foundation Walking socks — the perfect accessory to support your newfound walking habit!
