Walking to a Healthy Lifestyle

Sharolyn Jackson, the state coordinator of Walk Kansas, highlights the 2012 program which offers participants more than a way to exercise. It can be the beginning of a healthy lifestyle.

It's the Best Program Extension Has!

Marge Neely has spent the last 10 years recruiting others in Neosho County to join Walk Kansas because she thinks it has the possibility of helping more people help themselves than any other program she knows of.  Here she is with Tara Solomon, FCS Agent in the Southwind District and Sharolyn Jackson, director of the Walk Kansas program.  Listen to her story below.

Walk with Ease is a new structured walking program, from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, that offers support, information, and tools to help participants develop successful exercise routines.

Choose a self-directed online program, or join others in a six-week group series led by a certified leader. Learn proper stretching and pain management techniques, as well as build stamina and walking pace. The program can be modified to meet individual needs of participants.
