I would like to join the Mayo Clinic virtual walking group. How does it work? How do we keep in touch with one another and encourage one another to get out and walk?

@angelcats Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

Lace up your shoes, or, velcro them closed. If you are in a wheelchair, or on a walking assistance device like a cane, make sure everything is ready to go. [Personally I use two walking sticks for balance!] Dress for the weather wherever you happen to be. And get outside! You don't need to go a long distance, just what is comfortable for you. Got a dog, or a family member there with you? Take them along! Breathe in fresh air, see the sights, listen to the world around you. Repeat as many times a week as you want, going further each time, or making it a routine.

Come back and tell us about your walk. It doesn't need to be anything fancy. We want to experience what joy you find walking.
