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.
