Healthy Evansville: Lose Weight via Walking

According to statistics, half of you reading this site are overweight. That’s because half of Hoosiers are overweight and are deemed the 8th fattest state in the nation. That’s not a good thing. As part of Healthier Evansville week, Welborn Clinic is hosting a week of walks downtown. The walks are designed for people of all fitness levels, so take some time out of your day to start your exercise program.

If you are interested in walking, meet at the intersection of 4th and Main St at 11:15 or 12:15 from today until May 4. There won’t be a 12:15 walk on May 4, so make sure you head to the early one. If you can’t make it to the Welborn hosted walks, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get out maybe after work or on one of your breaks and go for a walk or run. Find a time that fits your schedule and make exercise an appointment in your daily routine.

As part of Healthier Evansville week, we will be posting at least one story a day that highlights health issues in our city.
