Walking Tips:

• Break it up–walk 10 minutes a day, 3 times a day to reap the benefits of walking
• Park further from the door and walk to your destination
• When waiting for an appointment, take a walk
• Find a walking buddy to help you stay motivated
• In bad weather, walk at the gym or on a treadmill
• Get the whole family walking after dinner by walking instead of watching one TV show

Set a goal – try to walk 30 minutes a day.

Look for these walking marker signs in Athens, Catskill, Windham, and Coxsackie. Follow the signs for a one-mile walk!
