Did you know regularly walking provides the body and mind with many perks? It’s true. Walking has been shown to improve mood, boost your energy and even have an effect on life span. You might not know it, but walking also helps burn calories, strengthen the heart and lower blood sugar.
With the Philippi Wellness Center’s newest Walkercise program, you can groove to some tunes while reaping the benefits of walking.
Here’s everything you need to know about this new program!
When is it? Where is it?

Participants will walk the city gym to music with ongoing coaching to encourage the use of arms, directional change and balance work.
