Whether you choose to stroll, shuffle, or sashay your way down the street, you can benefit from this simple form of exercise. Join Sara Wright, CHWB’s Wellbeing Guide and personal trainer at the Crosby Wellness Center, as she discusses how to set the pace for a successful walking routine. March away with tips and strategies that you can immediately implement in your everyday fitness routine.
