Meet other local people who are interested in walking for fitness! We'll meet up to walk around Oak Park/River Forest/Forest Park and on local trails. We've also been known to do a little hiking, biking, eating and drinking as a group.
To lose weight and to keep it off, you need to get moving. Walking at a moderate pace for 30-60 minutes burns stored fat and can build muscle to speed up your metabolism. Walking an hour a day is also associated with cutting your risk of heart disease, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes and stroke. Isn't it time to work 1-hour walks into your busy lifestyle?
Our next MeetupTuesday Evening Walk 11/24
Join us for a 60 minute/3 mile neighborhood walk around Forest Park, Oak Park and/or River Forest.
All evening walks are "Show and Go." Whoever shows up for the walk will help decide where we go.
FYI
1. Constitution Court is the area with the fountain across the street from Cafe DeLuca and Forest Park Liquors on Madison St. Read more
