Basics of City Fitness Walking

ABOUT THIS EVENT
Event Category

Fitness & Wellness

Event Overview

Do you already walk 2-3 miles a day? Do you exercise enough? Are you physically and mentally together? If so, don't take this class.

For the rest of us, the problem is simple. While we *believe* walking is great exercise, fights depression and costs almost nothing, our behavior doesn't match what we believe. We don't walk. For many, walking is what you do between the house and the car!

This class will be a walking class, outside in the Andersonvillle/Bowmanville neighborhoods. We'll stop occasionally for quick lectures on how to incorporate walking into your life. By and large, you'll learn by doing. When we're finished, you'll have taken 5000-7500 steps, and you'll get how easy this is to incorporate to your life.

Here's what you'll walk away with:

1. basic, common-sense advice on how to make walking effortless
2. a chance to discuss your situation and what options make sense for you
3. a small community (me and your classmates) who want to make it work
