Walk For Your Health: Start A Walking Club!

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step."  Lao Tsu





How To Start A Walking Club
 Hold an organizing meeting.
Start a walking Team.  Give your team a name. 
Determine the day(s), time, where, how long, the distance, and under what weather conditions you will walk.
Develop a theme (e.g. small steps to success).
Discuss and review - best walking shoes; starting slowly; keeping a diary; sore muscles.
Promote - mention the benefits of walking.  Walking mental benefits improves sleep, mood, and is a form of meditation.  Create a newsletter!
As with any physical training program, the challenge is more often learning how to stay motivated to maintain the activity in your life.
AARP also has a great site for physical fitness and walking - CreateTheGood.org.
