There’s one thing we can all do that will makes us instantly feel better and that’s going for a walk outside. It’s free, easy to do and anyone can do it. The daylight boosts your circadian rhythm meaning better sleep and the exercise decreases stress levels and energises your body – a godsend when you’re surviving on little sleep! You can even start walking when you’re pregnant or after having a baby, making it a great all-round exercise for the whole family.
Thankfully, outdoorwear brands like ACAI have clocked on to the fact that women want to feel comfortable AND look good. ACAI has created an easy to wear, breathable, and stylish spring/summer range. Elevate your summer adventures with the flattering Hike Lite Leggings or on rainy days the Outdoor Showerproof Popover is a game changer. Designed by women for women, available in a range of colours and sizes, you can check out the whole range here www.acaioutdoorwear.com.
Get more from your walk Walk up hill! The NHS recommends we do ‘at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity a week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity activity a week’. Hiking somewhere with hills will make your walk ’vigorous’. If you hit your goal for that week, why not treat yourself to some new kit? We love ACAI’s Hike More Worry Less Graphic Tee, the perfect slogan for your walks or the new Stride Shorts, which have three pockets and come with reflective detail for those walking after dark.
ACAI has moisture wicking clothes which keep you cool when needed. The Shower Resistant Softshell Leggings will also protect you in any rain showers. All ACAI leggings come with pockets too. Love.
