The Windy City Walkers

Trek the parks and lakefront of Chicago, as well as Chicagoland walking-friendly communities, while enjoying the company of like-minded walking enthusiasts!

This meetup is for people who want to incorporate regular exercise into their lives as part of a group. It is geared toward "leisurely" walkers, those just beginning a walking program, and/or those who wish to complete 2-5 mile walks to improve or maintain fitness. We'll expend some good effort, but this isn't a "push your cardio to the limit" group. For that, you'll have to go to your aerobics class! ("Power-walkers" are welcome, however; we can break into different groups and meet up at the end.) We usually include coffee/brunch and conversation!

Be among the first to help create this meetup and lend your ideas for walking dates and routes!

(It's advisable to get a doctor's okay before embarking on any new exercise program. Individual group members are responsible for their own health and safety.)
