ACTIVATE AMERCIA WALKING GROUP- FREE FOR ANYONE WITH WALKING SHOES! WALKING GROUP MEETS AT 9AM EFFECTIVE 11/3

At 9a.m. every Monday -Thursday morning, members of the community are invited to join a one-hour walk through the beautiful neighborhoods of Webster Groves.

We want to encourage you to take “small steps” to improve your life through active living and healthy eating. Community members are invited to visit the Webster Groves Family YMCA and join our walking group!

The program is free for anyone who would like to join us. Our objective is to increase community awareness of the benefit of daily walks and physical activity. We want to encourage folks to have fun, build community spirit, and live healthier lives.

This effort builds upon a national partnership between the YMCA and the Activate America Initiative and aims to motivate and mobilize thousands of Americans to take small steps towards a healthier lifestyle. “With 60 million adults—or 30 percent of the U.S. adult population—and nine million children obese or overweight, increasing the level of physical activity for our children and families is important to our community,” says Barr. Through this effort, we hope to inspire and encourage individuals to see how easy small changes can be.”
