If you love to walk on your lunch hour, and don't want to walk alone, consider joining the Wellness Institute of Greater Buffalo every week at noon. This Wednesday the group meets on June 29 at Kaminski Park at the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. Registration is at 12:00 P.M., and the walk is from 12:10 P.M. to 12:40 P.M.
Although they don't require an R.S.V.P., they ask that those attending the walk for the first time complete a one- time registration form which can be returned by email or in person the day of the walk.
For your comfort and safety, please remember:
· Wear proper, comfortable footwear
· Watch for eye-level bushes and trees
· Watch for broken concrete, potholes and uneven surfaces
· Obey all traffic signals
· Alert walk leaders and other walkers of unsafe conditions
· Walk leaders have cell phones and should be notified of any incidents so they can summon help if necessary
· Sun protection: sun block, sunglasses, wide-brimmed hat.
Adequate hydration is suggested, as is a reminder to dress for the weather. They also walk rain or shine, unless there's lightening. So far in 2011, they've logged 504,000 steps. Walks are approximately 1.5 miles, and that averages about 3,000 steps, which multiplied by the number of walkers, gives the number of steps per week. Our goal for this season is 1,000,000 steps. So come on out and help us meet or exceed this goal! Call for information at 851-4052.
