If Barry Pailet had his way just about every one of our two and a half million members would go for a brisk walk every day. "Walking is probably the simplest but also one of the best things you can do to improve your health,'' he says. "Regular walking reduces risk of diabetes and heart disease.''

We have a variety of other programs that promote walking. Go Walking! is a web-based program with a wealth of educational information, a list of walking resources, mapped-out walking routes, and details on upcoming walking events.
