Walking at McMaster

Walk your way to a healthier you!

Walking is one of the most simple and effective forms of exercise; it doesn't require a gym membership or special equipment and is enjoyable on your own or with a friend.

The best part is the results! After two weeks of regular walking you'll enjoy:

  • increased energy levels and stamina,
  • relief of stress and tension,
  • better sleep.

With a little persistence and a bit more time you'll:

  • feel better about yourself,
  • maintain a healthy weight,
  • reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, adult onset diabetes, osteoporosis, depression, high blood pressure, obesity, falls and injuries,
  • strengthen bones and muscles.

Get Moving

Setting goals for yourself and tracking your activity is a great way to keep motivated. Change doesn't need to happen over night, consider where you are and where you want to be and develop small specific goals that will help you get there.
