Looking for a way to get fit, increase your energy and kick start your health and fitness goals? Joining a walking club is a fun and social way to get active and stay dedicated to improving your wellness. Here are 4 great reasons to join a walking club in your neighborhood!
- Improve your overall health– Incorporating at least 30 minutes can help to improve your heart health, bone density and muscle coordination, while burning extra calories to help you lose weight.
- Stay Committed – Studies show that 70% of individuals who begin a fitness routine quit within the first six months due to a lack of motivation. A walking club can provide individuals with peer support and increased confidence.
- Have fun – Joining a walking club with family or friends allows you to spend quality time chatting and having fun socializing as you exercise. Joining alone can also connect you with new, like-minded people within your community.
- Improve your mood – Research suggests that working out in a group setting releases endorphins, making exercise an enjoyable and relaxing activity. Walking in a group within pleasant surroundings also positively impacts your sleeping habits and reduces the risk of depression or anxiety.
As you continue to walk throughout
the year, don’t forget to join another fun and engaging group event, the 2014
MS Walk!
