What our walkers say
The best thing about my plan was I could start at my level and build upon it - I felt like I was being successful and making progress! It also helped me reduce my weight and waist measurements, as well as feel positive about my overall health.
Terry, Personal Walking Plan walker
As I progressed through my walking plan, I began resuming some of the exercises I had learned previously and was inspired to start aqua aerobics, which I am enjoying so much!
Heather, group walker
I enjoyed having a structured plan to follow, rather than walking ad hoc. The encouragement and tips from the Heart Foundation were great. Another good thing is I’ve lost weight and people noticed.
Lyn, walk organiser
