ACUMC "Step Into Health" Walking Club

Remember, this ACUMC program is open to anyone that wishes to "Step into Health" by walking. We usually walk at 6 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

From November 22nd until Spring, we meet at ACUMC in Long Hall at 6 pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. During our summer months we'll meet at Waynedale High School's track. See Q&A section at bottom of this page.

If you are interested in joining our walking group, just call or email our church office, the more walkers, the merrier. Our phone and email addresses are at the top of this page.

This chart below will show the number of steps that each person walked, their total walking time, and if they lost, gained, or remained at the same weight.

Here's a quote from one of our walkers. "Being a part of this group provides wonderful fellowship and the encouragement that we can give each other is great. It's fun to watch and encourage the people that join us. So the number of laps I walked is nothing compared to what I take away from this group."

Many of our walkers don't send me their STATS, This is OK, the companionship and the exercise is the main purpose of this Activity.  Just come, join us, at 6 pm on Mon, Wed, or Friday.  Walk with us, you'll feel better and it doesn't cost a cent!

We've decided to walk at our ACUMChurch in Long Hall during inclement weather this Winter. The temperature in Long Hall is cool but comfortable, there's NO wind, ice or snow, conversation is easy and plentiful. Parking is paved, level, and plowed regularly.

Our summer walks are done outside on the 1/4 mile rubberized track at Waynedale HS.

Connie and Amanda want to get this project started, so get healthy and let us know if you want to walk with us.  We'll start it this Fall so that we can "get serious" in the Spring of 2011.

Join us, in our walks for health, be a winner!
 

Questions and Answers . . .
