Go car free for a day
The worldwide event began as a way of showing that cities across the globe could be free of cars, and now the emphasis is on celebrating what modern life is like when freed from the noise and stress of cars.
Joining in is as simple as finding different transport for the day, such as trains, buses or more physically active options like cycling or walking. Events will also be taking place around the world to showcase alternatives to the car, if you want to get even more involved.
Take the step
Anyone who owns a car will know how easy it is to become reliant on it, even for the shortest of journeys. World Carfree Day offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a day entirely without your car – and the increased physical activity from walking could leave you feeling energised.
You may even find yourself wanting to rely on your car less on other days, too. After all, studies have shown that even small levels of exercise can lead to significant gains in fitness, which in turn can reduce the risk of serious medical conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure and obesity.
Perfect combination
When it comes to keeping your weight in check, both walking and cycling can form part of a successful weight-loss regimen. Balanced nutrition is also important, and that is why Slim•Fast is also useful: clinical trials show that people using Slim•Fast can lose more weight – and keep it off for longer – than with a conventional calorie controlled diet.
