Walk & Talk - Old Forge
All are invited to “Walk and Talk” with friends and neighbors!
Community members are invited to join the weekly Walk & Talk series, held Tuesdays at 1:30 pm from September 8 through October 27.
Walkers will meet in the shared parking lot of the Old Forge Library and Niccolls Memorial Presbyterian Church at 220 Crosby Boulevard.
The format is simple: walk, talk, and get to know the neighbors along the way. Group guides will be on hand each week, with distance and pace adjusted to accommodate the group. Some walkers go farther than others, and that is just fine.
All ages and fitness levels are welcome, including those who are just getting started.
The many benefits to be had by walking and talking include:
controlling blood pressure
lowering the risk of chronic disease
maintaining a healthy weight
fighting cancer
improving heart health
enhancing mental health
boosting mood
reducing stress
strengthening bones
and being happier because you are socializing with fun people.
Walk and Talk Tuesdays will take place September 8 - October 27 @ 1:30 pm
There will be a group leader on hand and distance, and pace will be adjusted to be comfortable for each walker.
The Old Forge Library will have pedometers available to anyone who would like to keep track of steps from mid-September through Thanksgiving.
