BRISK WALKING BENEFITS YOUR HEALTH
We all know how important it is to be active. The good news is you don’t have to go to the gym or start expensive fitness programmes, walking briskly counts too!
Just ten minutes of brisk walking every day can get your heart pumping and can make you feel more energetic, as well as lowering your risk of serious illnesses like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Going for a brisk walk is a great way to clear your head and improve your mood.
Active 10's are simple to fit into your day, from taking the dog out to going for a lunchtime walk there are lots of opportunities to include brisk walking into your daily routine.
This app relies on your phone’s inbuilt sensors to measure your activity so you may experience varying levels of accuracy especially in older devices/operating systems. To improve accuracy, we recommend keeping your phone in a pocket close to your body rather than in a loose coat pocket or bag.

Comments on NHS Active 10 Walking Tracker for Android
★★★★★Jo Walker· Jun 21, 2026
Excellent app, the NHS needs to promote it more. I found it after scrolling past endless pay for walking apps!
★★★★☆Ernie Ward· Apr 29, 2026
One improvement for me would be for the app to have a log of current pace, accessed by a button, as well as the current method of finding your current pace. This would only require a rolling log of the last 200 or so steps to be kept on the device. This would be very useful for users who want to target a specific pace The current checker is good for finding what a brisk pace feels like but clunky if you want to check your pace at intervals.
★★★★★David Johnson· May 13, 2026
Useful to measure progress and provide incentive. May encourage some people to overdo things.
★★★★★Courtney Paul· Aug 4, 2026
Fun and interactive way to get out and about. Recommended to go for walks to manage stress but found it hard to maintain, this means I have a fun way of seeing those walks progress while collecting badges. Even if I don't hit the brisk walking target seeing I've been out for an hour is just as rewarding.
★★☆☆☆c knott· May 22, 2026
Thought it was good when I first installed it, but recently it's been giving false information. Sometimes telling me I've done more brisk walks than I have but more commonly it says I have done fewer. The other day it didn't register any brisk walks at all which I know is incorrect. Decided to uninstall it.
★☆☆☆☆Mark Foster· Aug 23, 2026
The App's recording of brisk steps via the NHS login add-on is totally unreliable and presenting the wrong data analytics in what is meant to be a health tracker. Every single day it significantly reduces the brisk steps accumulated in the current week, despite the true brisk steps still tracked correctly in the main App brisk step count. It is the most unreliable App that I have ever come across!
★☆☆☆☆Nat B· Sep 20, 2026
NHS need to revise their expectations of brisk walking. I consider myself as physically fit AND a fast walker, yet if I have 10 mins of brisk recognized per day, it's truly by luck. Very demoralizing when people are trying to support their physical /mental health.
