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.

United KingdomActive 10 review
I have been using this excellent and simple to use App for a few years now. The aim is to record active walking minutes on a daily and weekly basis. I do, however, have a concern over the lack of one feature, the inability of it to recognise the effort used in climbing a hill. Part of my weekly routine is to walk, at least once a week up a steep hill local to my house. The ascent is 174 m / 571 ft to the summit of 294 m / 964 ft. This takes me some 35 minutes which the App does not recognise as “being active”. Only the return active minutes are recorded as the pace is naturally much quicker, but still using effort. Being a senior citizen well into retirement I find the Active 10 App does not give me any credit for the considerable effort expended! I know full well the reason for this is that it only counts the rate of pace above a set level. Can anything be done to improve the App on this respect? GG Blairgowrie, Scotland.

Active 10 is not only a fantastic App for monitoring your level of physical activity but it also provides information on the amount of time that you spent on moderate-intensity physical activity such as brisk walking.

United KingdomSimple and effective
I love this app Im mid 60s so set it as suggested to 10 minutes brisk walking and it sits on my Home Screen so I can see the progress and it reminds me to walk at a healthy stride.
United KingdomKeeps me focused
I like this app when it’s working to keep me focused on walking enough every day. However, I do get a little irritated when it clearly hasn’t logged my walking properly i.e. when I do a walk I regularly do at the same speed but the app says I’ve only walked a fraction of the minutes I know I’ve walked
