Make walking work for you...
12 Jan 09- Results from the Walking Music Competition

Everyone has a favourite track to walk to on their commute, whether it's upbeat to wake you up on the way to work, or relaxed to soothe you after a stressful day in the office. In fact, new research suggests that listening to your favourite music may be good for your cardiovascular system.


 

So, Living Streets decided to collect your suggestions for the ultimate walking music compilation by running a competition in December 2008 where we gave away a Nike+ iPod and 5 other mp3 players preloaded with your suggestions for good measure.

Over 1,000 of you told us your favourite walking track and made the pledge to walk more. And so, this is the final walking music compilation...as voted by you!

1. Queen - Don't stop me now
2. Katrina and the waves - Walking on sunshine
3. Proclaimers - I'm gonna be (500 miles)
4. Abba - Waterloo
5. Survivor - Eye of the tiger
6. U2 - Beautiful day
7. Guns and roses - Paradise city
8. The Killers - Mr brightside
9. Aerosmith - Walk this way
10. Coldplay - Viva la vida

And the lucky winners are...(drumroll)
