WEBE Wellness: Getting Ready To Walk

WEBE Wellness: Getting Ready To Walk

Walking gets you where you need to go. But it’s also a great form of exercise.

It’s joint-friendly, and it’s a low-intensity way to burn fat and maintain weight. But there are some steps to take before you head out the door for your walk, so you can help prevent injuries.

First – make sure you’re hydrated. Drink water throughout the day, and really kick it into gear a few hours before taking your steps. Hydration helps your joints, prevents muscle cramps, and maintains body temperature.

Make sure you warm up your legs – stretch your hamstrings and glutes – sitting int eh office of in the car all day, will tighten muscles – and when you go for a brisk walk, they’ll tighten even more. So make sure they’re ready for that walk.

Finally, pay attention to your feet too – they’re going to be getting the most action during your walk, so take some warmup exercises.

Get ready for your walk before you walk…so you can keep walking!

In Fairfield County, more than 33,000 children are not sure where their next meal will come from. Most will get breakfast and lunch from school every weekday, but many will go from Friday lunch until Monday at breakfast without a decent meal. Founded in 2013, Filling in the Blanks is an organization that fills in those weekend gaps by providing each child in its program with a bag filled with healthy, easy to prepare food for the weekend.  When the obstacle of food insecurity is removed, children experience increased academic achievement in school and greater opportunities for success in their lives. FITB continuously serves 6,200 kids at 200 sites throughout Fairfield and Westchester Counties.

With your race registration, you will receive the following:

  • Unite to Fight 5K T-shirt, available for local pick up the week of the race.

*T-shirts are based on availability if registering after March 29, 2024.
