Young Mum’s Walking Group

The Young Mum’s Walking Group is a sports club located in Greater Taree City Council. This walking group is a part of the National Heart Foundation of Australia and is proudly supported by them. The club aims to promote physical activity and a healthier lifestyle among young mothers in the community.

The Young Mum’s Walking Group offers a supportive and inclusive environment for young mothers to come together and engage in regular walking sessions. Walking is a low-impact form of exercise that has numerous health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and some cancers.

The club provides a platform for socialising and sharing experiences among its members. Through regular walking sessions, participants can improve not only their physical health but also their mental well-being.

The Young Mum’s Walking Group encourages healthcare professionals to refer their patients to their structured and supportive walking programme. The programme is designed to complement professional care and help patients meet the national physical activity guidelines. Whether individuals prefer to walk alone or in a group setting, the programme offers motivation and support.

One member, Maria, shares her success story of overcoming weight, diabetes, and blood pressure problems by gradually increasing her daily step count. Her experience demonstrates how even the simplest form of exercise can have a significant impact on both mental and physical health.
