This year, it is more important than ever to focus on adopting a healthier lifestyle. If you started 2022 with goals of improving your health, fitness, and well-being but have had trouble getting started or sticking with it, you are not alone. If you are ready to make healthier lifestyle choices and are interested in joining a local community of like-minded individuals, then join us for Let’s Walk Florida!

Let’s Walk Florida! is a 10-week virtual healthy lifestyle education program and physical activity challenge designed to provide you with weekly check-ins, nutritional information, physical fitness inspiration, as well much more. Just as a sports coach can help an athlete develop and excel at a sport, the UF/IFAS Extension health experts can help anyone excel at living their life!

Participants will receive:
• Weekly Health eGuides
• Access to group webinars & training sessions
• Access to our virtual community to track their progress for accountability and support
• Participate in physical activity challenges as an individual or as a team
• Optional biweekly check-ins with a local health expert

The goal of this program is to provide accountability, encouragement, education, and support. Even though the title of the program is Let’s Walk, participants are encouraged to track and report any moderate-intensity cardiovascular activity. All participants who complete the program will receive a certificate and medal. Registration is $25 and the program will begin on Monday, March 21, 2022.
