Walking
is the #1 health initiative prescribed by health professionals in North America.
Running and bicycling may burn more calories, but more people stick with walking
than with any other type of exercise. And walking has the added benefit of strengthening
and toning muscles.
Research consistently shows that by walking 10,000 steps a day, you can reduce your risk of chronic illness such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. In one study, patients experienced improvements in their fitness, blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and weight, and lost an average of more than 4 lbs each.
WalkingSpree’s 10,000 step program is based on the use of the Pocket Pedometer™, a highly accurate Omron USB pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day improves your mood, makes you feel healthier and helps manage your weight within your everyday life. WalkingSpree gives you the tools you need for permanent weight loss and a healthy lifestyle.
