Get WALKIN': Helping Hoosiers get on their feet

Walking is an excellent way for most people to increase their physical activity. It is an easy way to start and maintain a physically active lifestyle. Walking is accessible to almost anyone, doesn’t require specific skills or fancy workout clothes and equipment. Need some motivation but don’t have time to attend a class? Perfect. We can help!

Get WALKIN’ is a 12 week, free e-mail based walking initiative being offered through Purdue Extension in Bartholomew County in partnership with the School of Nursing. Participants can sign-up, walk on their own and receive e-mailed support and information. Participants will be asked to complete two short online surveys.

To learn more, contact Harriet Armstrong, Purdue Extension Educator – Bartholomew County, 812.379.1665, or [email protected]. To register for this program, which will begin September 7th, click here.
