Embrace Springtime in Montana by Walking -- Join the AARP Montana NeighborWalk Group!

Posted on 02/23/24

Would you like a little encouragement and a nudge to begin (or continue) a walking routine? 

It can be hard to get motivated to incorporate regular exercise or movement into our schedules. Maybe joint pain, arthritis, or a recent surgery have prevented you from walking regularly. 

We have a solution! 

You can join our NeighborWalk group and add walking to your routine in a way that is safe and comfortable for you. NeighborWalk is a fun and safe way to establish a walking habit with a social connection. 

AARP membership not required. 

NeighborWalk is designed for people of all ages and all abilities and is s based on the Arthritis Foundation’s national Walk With Ease Program. You’ll receive the Walk With Ease Participant Guidebook as a NeighborWalk participant.

Although this program is designed primarily for those who don’t yet have a walking routine, if you already walk regularly, it could be fun to join this group to add a social connection to your fitness routine. 

AARP Montana’s FREE, 6-week walking program is scheduled for April 17 – May 22, 2024. The NeighborWalk group, led by AARP Volunteers, will meet weekly at the Great Northern Carousel for a discussion, stretching, warm-up, and walking at the Centennial Park trail, then back to the Carousel for ice cream.

At AARP Montana, we think that a healthy lifestyle can help us all to deal with the daily stress of living.
