Especially with the lovely weather that the UK is currently experiencing, Dr Ellie believes that now is the perfect time to maximise in walking outdoors.
To make walking more scenic, she recommended doing circuits around the park as opposed to streets.
Rather than intense gym classes or daunting 5k park runs, walking around their local area is something most people can access regardless of age or ability.
Its an activity that can be built in to day-to-day life in several creative ways.
Those who want to slim down, better their heart health or simply improve their mood can make changes such as getting off the bus one stop earlier and walking the rest of the way to work to up their step count.
Anyone can build it into their day by making conscious decisions such as saying no to lifts and escalators and yes to the stairs, or taking a longer walking route to work.
