Walking Groups: Fad or Fab?

By Personal Trainer, Mohammed Elhassan

Folks are getting healthier and boasting about their improved cardiovascular health with walking/running groups. The social aspect of these groups creates a richer, more consistent routine – who wants to bail on a workout when your friends are waiting and there’s things to catch up on?

Hiking, walking and running are great activities to:

  • Improve heart health
  • Improve overall cardiovascular fitness 
  • And promote the release of endorphins, which help reduce stress and anxiety.

Being part of a group creates a sense of accountability, making it less likely to skip workouts. Plus, exercising with others allows individuals to learn new techniques, tips, and strategies for improving their fitness routines.
