Contrary to its name, FOGO Running is not just about running. With an overall goal of increasing your health & wellness, we are most interested in getting you more physically active. If that means starting out walking, SUPER!!
Walking is an ideal low impact aerobic exercise that can be perfect for people with bad knees or hips or for those looking to slowly start back into an exercise program. Regular walking can reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer, lower total cholesterol, raise healthy HDL cholesterol and lower blood pressure. Regular walking will also help maintain healthy bones, increase muscle utilization, stabilize blood sugar, and provide stress relief from our way too busy lives!!
Our aim is to put together a small army of FOGO "walkers" who, with regular weekly walking, will gradually increase their walking distances and be one of the few to walk a half marathon. The power of a strong and supportive walking team will help get you out the door each Saturday morning and walking your way to better health. Don't put off getting active another minute - grab your walking shoes and come join our healthy, active team!! |
