Why Should I Participate?
From heart disease and stroke prevention to better mental health and a longer life, the benefits of physical activity have been known for years.  Physical activity is a key element to any weight loss program and comes in a variety of forms: walking, cycling, swimming, dancing, and golfing, just to name a few.  Walking is one of the best forms of physical activity.  It is low impact, which means that it is easier on the joints than most other forms of exercises.  The best part of walking is that you can do it almost anywhere or anytime.

    Walking leads to...
  • 20% less incidence of breast cancer
  • 30-40% reduction in the risk of heart disease
  • 50% less incidence of Diabetes
  • 50% reduction in the risk of premature death
