First, A Quick Reality Check

Is your journey to start walking and feel great again always going to be easy? No! Is it a journey worth making? Without a doubt!

Will there be days when it hurts a bit? Absolutely - especially in the beginning! At our age a bit of hurt and achiness comes with the territory. Stick with it though. It gets better each day.

Pay special attention to the cautions and 'going slow' advice in our Fitness Walking Programs - especially as you start out.

The Importance Of Sound Medical Advice

Before you start any new physical activity you should discuss it with your medical professional. She knows your health and fitness situation better than anyone. She also knows the benefits of walking and how it can help you feel great again!

Do share our 50 Plus Fitness Walking website with her as well as our Fitness Walking Programs. Show her what you are planning.

OK. Time To Pick Your Starting Point

You're at your starting line. Assess what you feel is most accurate description of you now. Regardless of where you are at now, you can always benefit. Little baby steps will eventually lead to bigger steps.

And if you're already doing some walking now, we encourage you to start at our Level 1 Fitness Walking Program or our Level 2 Fitness Walking Program.

Summary

You've made a giant step in deciding to start walking. You now have an overview of the whole process and its' main components and you've done own self assessment to pick your starting point. And finally you have checked with your medical professional to get your green light.

Well done. Enjoy your journey to better health and happiness through fitness walking!
