Vol. 60
October 2012
 Greetings!

 

Welcome new subscribers to the Wonders of Walking e-mail newsletter: WalkQuest. We want to hear from you! 

 

Halloween factoids:
Do you know is a pumpkin is a fruit or a vegetable? (Fruit) 
Did you know Jack o' Lanterns originated in Ireland where people placed candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday. 

As the holidays approach, adding awareness and moderation in eating & staying active, you will be ahead of the game in maintaining or improving your body composition during the holidays. You do not have to gain weight, and in spite of the commercials, you can loose weight regardless of age.

Check out the promotion for the month of November and December,  offering a 2 for 1 walk or fitness coaching session. See below.

Happy Halloween!

Walking is a big deal, because almost everyone can do it.   

It is easy, health promoting-and an exercise that is what you want it to be.  It can be a fun, age-defying activity; leisurely and high performance. 
  • Do you walk & /or run with ease?
  • Or, are you feeling stuck at a 'plateau' with your flexibility or your movement?
  • Have you been told you should exercise?
  • Do you ever feel that you wished you weren't getting older?
