🌿 Healthy Habits: Lunchtime Stretch & Stroll 🚶♀️
🧘♂️ Feeling stiff, stressed, or sluggish at your desk? A little lunchtime movement can do wonders for your body and mind.
Even 10–15 minutes of gentle stretching or a stroll around the block can:
…✨ Boost your mood
✨ Ease muscle tension
✨ Improve focus for the afternoon
✨ Get your steps in without feeling like a chore
You don’t need fancy kit or a gym session — just step outside, stretch out those shoulders, loosen up your hips, and enjoy a change of scenery.
🌸 Pro tip: grab a colleague or pop in your headphones and treat it as your little pocket of calm in the middle of the day.
Your wellbeing matters — let’s make time for ourselves this week. When’s your next stretch and stroll break? ⏰

For Carers week, Move County Durham teamed up with Durham County Carers Support to lead a series of special one-off walks across the county. One of them being in our beautiful Durham City Centre! Followed by refreshments at Freemans Quay after! 🫖☕️
The walks provided carers with an …opportunity to take some time for themselves, enjoy the outdoors, and connect with others who understand the challenges and rewards of caring.
Thank you to everyone who joined!
