Start a Walking Group

For those of you wanting to start a family, neighborhood, school, or workplace walking group, we are here to help!!  Studies have shown that walking in a group helps to increase your commitment to your new fitness program.  We recommend that you and your group find a mutually agreeable goal to work towards.  Here are a few of the goals that have worked well for our groups:

• group walk at lunchtime 3x/week for three months
• A walk around your neighborhood nearly every evening for three months
• Meet at the Rose Bowl for a lap or two every Saturday morning
• Group members use their pedometers to track 750,000 or 1,000,000 steps each
• Count total miles for a mileage count of 100 miles per person
• Depending upon the number of group members, find a reasonable mileage destination: San Diego, San Francisco, New York, Paris, The Moon . . .
