At Steve’s Active Group Walkers, they believe that walking is the ultimate “wonder drug” for a healthy heart. With just 30 minutes of walking a day, you can significantly lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes by 30 to 40 percent. Regular walking also helps manage weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol, reduces the risk of developing certain cancers, maintains bone density, and improves balance and coordination.
One of the highlights of Steve’s Active Group Walkers is their personalised walking plans. They offer a six-week programme that is designed to help you feel healthier and happier. By creating a tailored walking plan based on your fitness level and goals, they ensure that you get the most out of your walking experience.
The club also provides a wide range of walking groups for all fitness levels and preferences. Walking in a group not only keeps you motivated but also allows you to build connexions within your community. You can search for a walking group near you, with options available within a 10 km, 20 km, 25 km, 50 km, or 100 km radius. Simply enter your town, suburb, or postcode, and find a group that suits your needs.
Steve’s Active Group Walkers also collaborates with healthcare professionals to complement their care for patients. Their structured and supportive walking programme aligns with national physical activity guidelines and can be a valuable addition to any patient's treatment plan. Whether your patients prefer to walk alone or in a group, this programme can help them improve their overall health and well-being.
Real-life success stories, such as Maria's, showcase the transformative power of walking. Maria managed to overcome obesity, diabetes, and blood pressure issues through a consistent walking routine. Starting with just 5,000 steps a day, she gradually increased her daily steps to 15,000 and no longer has any medical issues. This demonstrates how simple exercise can have a profound impact on both physical and mental health.
