Walk Douglas Program Kick-off

Want a fun and community-oriented way to increase physical activity and make a commitment to your health?
Then fall into step and join the Walk Douglas program as we gear up for a 10 week program running October 1st – December 10th, 2016. The Walk Douglas program is a part of the Walk Georgia program sponsored by the University of Georgia (UGA) Cooperative Extension.
Walk Georgia is not just a walking program. There are currently 80 different activities to choose from. Participants will track their weekly physical activities online through the Walk Georgia website or app and the recorded activities are translated into “walked” miles. As miles are accumulated, participants will be able to unlock fun facts and information about the counties as they navigate across the state’s virtual map and “walk” Georgia. The site also provides recipes, fitness tips, resources and events.
Individuals, businesses, organizations or groups are all welcome to join and participate.
Signing up your business, organization or group is a great way to:

• Promote team building
• Support a healthier community
• Reduce stress as we enter into the hectic holiday season
• Incorporate as part of a Worksite Wellness program or initiative
