Testimonials

"I made a new friend with my walking partner! we plan to continue our twice a week lunch walk going forward."

"The Amazing Walk was beneficial for me and my personal goals but also helped build camaraderie between me and my colleagues, as well."

"Although I am very active outside of work, the program encouraged me to walk around more during the day. I love eating healthy, and am always looking for new recipes. I look forward to trying some of the recipes in the emails."

"The Amazing Walk has made me compulsive about hitting 5,000 steps, minimum, every day...Since I've been participating, I've noticed that I keep hearing about the benefits of walking -- it sure seems like it's the best thing any of us can be doing for ourselves.  This definitely makes me want to keep it up."

"I like that I have a goal every day.  Even though I don't usually have time to walk 10,000 steps, now I try to sneak steps in where I wouldn't have thought of it before."
