“One of the walking groups I started in Jindalee, a beachside suburb in W.A, has become an extended friendship group. We’re constantly meeting different people. There are many individuals who want to come together but don’t now know where to start and so being involved in the program is an easy and nice way of getting people together and enabling us to walk in a great environment."
“I was reasonably fit to begin with when I started walking, and soon realised that planned walking three times per week was actually improving my cardiovascular health, as well as my general wellbeing. It is the structured approach to attend that made it easy for me to see the difference that walking has made.”
“Walking makes me feel really good all round – mentally and physically. I feel like I’ve achieved something.
After retiring from work, I decided that I needed social interaction so joined a walking group and I’ve met some lovely people from all walks of life. I’ve also enjoyed discovering new places in my area and re-discovering old ones.”
