Why Should I Attend?
♦ Even small amounts of walking improve heart health, confidence and energy
♦ Walking is still beneficial even if you’re walking below the 10,000 steps per day recommendation
♦ Adding just 500 steps per day reduces cardiobascular risk
♦ Research shows that people walk longer, feel more motivated, and gain more confidence when walking with others rather than alone
