Walking

Walking is an easy way to take a break away from the desk while also looking after your health. It’s a low impact activity and something you can do anywhere. 

Flinders has multiple campuses across South Australia and the Northern Territory. Take the opportunity to explore our beautiful locations and stay active while doing it. 

Walking trails at Bedford Park or Sturt campuses are marked on the campus map. For people located at the City Campus, based in the heart of Adelaide, there are countless scenic walking trails in the city. The Adelaide100 Walking Trail is over 100km of walking trails available in South Australia. Darwin has countless beautiful locations to explore. 

Flinders proudly participates in the 10,000 Steps challenge, encouraging our staff to increase their physical activity. 

The Heart Foundation offer a free six week walking plan which is a great way to start moving. Add some structure and simple goals to your movement. 

If you want to measure your movement, there are a range of free and paid apps through Google Play or the Apple Store. Get searching to find your fit!
