Walking football can make a real contribution to both mental and physical health for older people, including women.

More and more women these days are finding that taking up Walking Football is a great way to keep fit and meet new people without spending hours in the gym.

As well as the social benefits it can help by reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke as well as improving blood pressure, postural balance, lower cholesterol, improved blood sugar levels and bone density, losing a bit of weight and cutting the odds of developing type 2 diabetes.

Walking Football is fun and gives women a chance to take part in organised team sport, many for the first time.

It has also been proved that people who get enjoyment from activities are more likely to continue this form of exercise rather than finding it a routine chore.
