Organizing A Neighborhood Fitness Walking Group

We all know the health benefits of being active and getting outdoors for fitness. Did you know one of the most beneficial exercises that you can do for yourself is outdoor walking?

A few years ago, my mother and I organized a neighborhood fitness walking group. We decided that it would be safer for us to walk in small groups, plus it was a great way to meet some new women in our neighborhood.

We drafted up some fliers and put them on our neighbors doors about our new walking group. Within days, we had seven new women joining us on our walks.

Our group has steadily increased in membership over the past 4 years.

Things to consider:

1. Members. How many members do you want to allow to join your walking group?

I suggest keeping your walking group to around ten members. If you decide to have more than ten members, then you should consider breaking your group down into two smaller groups, each with its own organizer.

2. Walking Schedule. Select the days and times and make up a schedule.

When starting out, its best to pick three days a week and walk for 45 minutes per day. As your group gets more active, you can add a day or increase your walking time to 60 minutes.

With our group, we rotate our walking schedule according to the seasons.

In the winter time, we walk during the later afternoon hours because its warmer outside. In the summer time, we walk during the early morning hours or early evening hours when its cooler outside.

3. Safety. After we formed our walking group, we notified our local police department. We gave them a copy of our walking schedule and a copy of our walking route.

The police officers will now make several patrol runs along our walking route on the days and times that we are out walking. I have also arranged for one of the police officers to come talk to our group once a year about safety when we are out walking and they will usually do this for free. You can never be too safe.
