 |  | | Bored of the gym? This new fitness trend might be for you.

Jack Rear enlists British champion and former Olympic race walker Tom Bosworth to show him how it's done.
Meanwhile, Stephen Doig reveals why every man needs a playful, posh tie like King Charles and our travel expert shares the ultimate itinerary for a holiday in Provence.
