England to Reward Walking? New NHS Plan Could Pay People to Walk Every Day

The NHS and the UK Government are backing a new initiative that could reward people in England for walking every day. Under the proposed Movement 26.2, or "marathon a month", scheme, adults who regularly complete around 20-30 minutes of walking each day could receive rewards such as shopping vouchers and discounts through a loyalty-style programme. The aim is to encourage healthier lifestyles, reduce inactivity and lower the long-term cost of preventable diseases. In this podcast we explore how the scheme is expected to work, who may benefit, and what it could mean for public health in England. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj6g0rdy40jo
