The wonder drug ...
Walking for an average of 30 minutes a day can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes by 30 to 40 per cent.
Here at Heart Foundation Walking we work every day to achieve our goal – an Australia free of heart disease.
We do this by building and supporting a community of walkers.
Our program is Australia’s largest free walking network, and offers Australians multiple ways to walk with us.
For over twenty three years, the Heart Foundation Walking program has helped over 120,000 Australians start walking and stay walking. We started life in Queensland as the Just Walk It program, and can now have walking groups across the nation.
Traditionally we have been all about walking groups and our ‘red army’ keeps on trooping to this day. In 2017 we delivered the Prime Minister’s One million steps and ran a number of step challenges to encourage people to step it up.
We want more Australians to walk more often, as it’s one of the best things we can do to protect our hearts.
