Fitness walking is easy, safe and inexpensive. It’s aerobic, it burns calories, and it’s an ideal fat-burning activity. It conditions the heart, improves muscle tone and strength, relieves stress, and can help with back pain, osteoporosis, respiratory problems, diabetes, arthritis, cardiac rehabilitation and a variety of other health problems.

Every minute of fitness walking counts towards your improved heath. Whether it is a ten minute walk at the Mall, or a 5K walk in the park, every step you take is one step closer to better health.

Fitness walking is an injury-free way for the everyone (particularly people over 50) to keep fit. It is a great family exercise. Fit kids are even more fit when the whole family walks together.

There are many opportunities for joining in fitness walks. At Malls, at parks, at organized events that sponsor charities and causes.

If you join our email mailing list, we will keep you informed of fitness walks and walking opportunities in the greater Kalamazoo area.
