You made it this far. You're ready to start walking.

That's wonderful! Your desire to walk and feel great again is really important.

Actually, YOUR DESIRE is the most important thing of all. With it and your daily dose of dedication you will succeed!

We'll help guide you, encourage you and give you a nudge (or a big push) when needed. Notice we said 'WHEN' not 'IF'. We're 50Plus'ers too. We know what can happen!

What We'll Do Together

Together we're going to:

  • figure out your walking ability nowsuggest simple ways to improve that walking ability
  • provide lots of encouragement along the way
  • give you some personal foot care tips and tricks
  • help you select and fit good foot wear that's right for you
as well as:

and finally:

  • suggest some great foot care tips for those hard working (and sometimes achy) feet of yours.
  • help you explore a different walking style or two from time to time - just for a change.
  • share some neat walking holiday adventure ideas
  • support you on your journey to greater fitness

The Facts

Is this journey to walk 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! We're 50Plus'ers, not 20 somethings. At our age a bit of hurty, achy comes with the territory. Stick with it though. It gets better each day.

Will you have days where you just don't want to do it? Probably.

Will you succeed if you give in to that too often? Probably not!

Do listen to your body though and hear what it's telling you. Some days it will tell you that you need to take a break. So - take a break! That's OK. Just try and make sure your 'break' days don't outnumber your 'doin' it' days!

Want more background info? Check out the 5 Components Of Physical Fitness page. The good stuff you find there is behind a lot of the simple things we suggest for you. Have a look.

Medical Advice

One final thing. We're every day 50Plus folk who are enthusiastic walking devotees. We want to help you start walking and feeling great again. We are NOT medical doctors or health professionals.

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

Feel free to share our website and information with them too. They're most welcome to provide feedback to us here too.
