Walking more can lead to better health, help the environment, and provide an opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends~ regular, brisk walking is one of the simplest and safest forms of physical exercise. By incorporating a 30-minute walk into any day, heart disease and diabetes risk can be reduced and a healthy weight maintained. Next time you have a chance to walk rather than drive, consider the benefits.
Look for opportunities to walk with your children, family or friends. Consider adding other walking routines to your day by organizing a lunchtime walking group at work, or a before-or after-work group with friends or neighbors.

At the end of each month participants turn in their step counts online. Walk Smart participants who turn in their monthly step counts (see step counter , Orange link at top of page) on time are eligible to win rewards in a monthly random drawing.
