Welcome to WalkingWorks, the easy-to-follow program that helps you start and maintain a regular walking routine. Everything you need to start a regular walking routine—no matter what your fitness level—is here.  All you really need is a good pair of shoes and a little determination.

Before you set your personal walking goals, you should first figure out your starting point.

• Find your baseline
• Set your benchmark
• Keep building

Walking works — in a lot of ways. A regular brisk-paced walk can help increase your energy, lift your spirits and improve your health too. A daily routine of brisk-paced walking can help you avoid serious health problems like heart disease, osteoporosis, Type 2 diabetes and conditions associated with obesity such as arthritis.

We’re all busy.  It can be tough to find the time to take a long walk at the park or spend an hour at the gym.  But that doesn’t mean you can’t find ways to work extra steps into your day. Get creative! 

As you start a new walking program, you may also need to buy a new pair of walking shoes.
