Start A Walking Group

Walking is hands down one of the best forms of exercise. Walking with a group is a great strategy to keep you motivated. And what better way to get involved in a walking group than to start one yourself!

1. Identify target members. Do you want to invite the general public, only close friends, or people in your neighborhood? Know who you want to join.

2. Choose a time. Based on who you plan to invite, pick a regular time slot and schedule about 60-75 minutes.

3. Plan a route (and a backup). A good walking route is free, safe, well-maintained, and near your home or work. Also, select a backup indoor location, such as a mall or walking track, for when the weather is poor.

4. Spread the word. Reach out to your target members with flyers, social media, phone calls, or emails. Aim for between 5 and 15 members.
