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!!

Saturday Morning Team Walking
Our main team run/walk will take place EARLY on Saturday mornings. We will begin with shorter runs that gradually increase to distances that prepare us for the ING Half Marathon. All Saturday morning runs will be done with our pace teams (see below). 

Saturday trainings will begin between 6 and 7am with our longer workouts starting at earlier times. Start times will be adjusted and staggered so that we all finish together between to allow for speakers and presentations at one common time (8:15 am).   

Thursday Evening Walking @ The Cancer Support Community
This season, as part of an ongoing effort to encourage and support the walking community, we will host an exercise training program on Thursday evenings at the Cancer Support Community (formerly The Wellness Community - 8609 South Dixie Highway Miami, FL 33143). 

These walking workouts will be hosted by the FOGO Sports coaches and will be open to the public so bring a friend or your family with you and stop by to join us! The Thursday evening walking sessions will begin on Thursday, October 7th at 6:30pm
