This is an 10-week program beginning 2 February running every Wednesday from 10am.

There’s a reason why walking is one of the most popular forms of activity in Australia. Walking for an average of 30 minutes or more a day can lower the risk of stroke by 35%, Type 2 diabetes by 40% as well as heart disease.

It’s not just your heart and muscles that benefit from walking. Regular physical activity has been proven to:

• Manage weight, blood pressure and cholesterol
• Reduce your risk of some cancers
• Maintain bone density, reducing risk of osteoporosis and fractures
• Improve balance and coordination, reducing your risk of falls and other injuries
• Reduced risk of social isolation and mental illness
• Improved fitness and energy levels

So put your runners on and join the Fraser Rise Community Walking Group for a leisurely and picturesque stroll around Stony Hill Creek to start reaping these amazing health benefits!

Morning tea provided.
