The Village of Glendale Heights Parks and Recreation Department will again be offering their 10-week walking program beginning Wednesday, August 10th and ending on October 19th with a celebration, including food, drinks, awards and raffle prizes! The program is free for those with their own pedometer and available to all Village residents, age 60 or older. Join us for the Kick-Off Event at the Sports Hub Walking Track at 1:00 pm on Wednesday, August 10th! Pedometers will be available for purchase: $10.

Benefits of Walking
Walking promotes physical activity, boosts brain power, assists in weight management and may lead to reduced insurance costs by preventing and managing several chronic illnesses. Walking as little as 30 minutes a day, five or more days a week can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, arthritis and some cancers.

How do I know how far I have walked?
Each participant will be given tracking sheets to track the number of steps taken each day. All participants will be shown how to properly use their pedometer at the kick-off event on August 10th. We will also cover goal-setting and how to track your progress.

Group vs. Individual
It's up to you. Do you like the social interaction of a group walk, or do you prefer to walk alone? The choice is yours!

REGISTER NOW! Then join us at the Kick-Off event on Wednesday, August 10th at 1:00 pm.
