Take a STEP toward better HEALTH

Walking is low impact, and safe with a doctor's okay, for people with orthopedic ailments, heart conditions, and those who are more than 20% overweight. Walking for as little as 30 minutes a day has many benefits, including:

  • Reducing the risk of coronary heart disease, osteoporosis, Type 2 diabetes, and breast and colon cancer
  • Maintaining body weight and lowering risk of obesity
  • Enhancing mental well-being

Join our physicians and health care providers for a walk and talk and become informed and inspired on the journey to improving your health.

The classes allow everyone to increase or maintain their fitness level in their own way. A clinical exercise physiologist facilitates this program.

Medical Release from a physician and Waiver of Liability are required prior to participation.

Regular physical activity improves your cardiovascular system, muscle tone, and flexibility, as well as reduces the risk of heart disease, the number one killer of adults in the United States. If you increase your physical activity level, you will improve your quality of life. You'll look better, feel better, and have more energy to enjoy your leisure time.
