NHS Active 10 Walking Tracker

Every day, it is rewarding to check how many prizes I have been awarded just because I have decided to MOVE and properly WALK! Sometimes it is not very precise, but I know that depends also on where you keep your smartphone while you are walking… So, thank you from Italy! I feel more “international” using an App designed for the British public 😉

It's encouraging and helps to keep going. By changing pace you can guess the threshold between normal and brisk, I enjoy the challenge of walking on the limit between the two :-))

Mostly this app is brilliant- it is for me to be a more active walker. However, data for Tuesday 25 June seems to have disappeared. And for my wife too. Any possible reason for this? We were both active- on holiday in the alps.

Started only managing 10 mins brisk walking out of an hour long walk, hadn’t realised I walked so slowly, now doing 50 plus minutes a day.

This is a wonderful App. . Certainly helps. . I have more energy now. . Less stress and easy to use. Helps me keep on track

My son is always trying to get me to exercise more. I am 74 yrs old and I lead quite a sedentary life. These bite size 1 minute bursts of fast walking is ideal for me and the fact that it is timed is great so you can always try to improve on your last score. The main thing is that it is manageable and doesn’t take up too much of your time. I highly recommend it.

I am loving this aap

I love this app, I’ve been ill and it’s incredibly motivating to use it to get more walking back into my life again.

It’s been very helpful for me. Despite what it says in the blurb, you can review a lot more than a year’s historic data, which is great, as we all hit barriers from time to time, and the ability to track and compare recovery through low performance periods is key. What would make it better? A facility to download data, and some additional performance badges - I haven’t “won” any in ages so a bit more motivation wouldn’t go amiss. Or am I outgrowing the app? I hope not…

Always been happy but suddenly despite walking step for step with my husband (we usually walk together) I get very few brisk minutes. Eg today round Knole Park he got 43 brisk /57 walked I got 11 brisk/58 walked. I can’t believe why it has suddenly got such a discrepancy.
