AdventureCo believes in the power of walking as a wonder drug, as it has been proven to lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes by 30 to 40 percent. Additionally, regular walking helps manage weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels.
It also reduces the risk of developing certain types of cancer, maintains bone density, and improves balance and coordination.
AdventureCo Walking Group also welcomes healthcare professionals to refer their patients to the structured and supportive walking programme. This programme complements the care provided by healthcare professionals and helps patients meet the national physical activity guidelines. Whether patients prefer to walk alone or in a group, AdventureCo's motivational programme is designed to support their journey towards a healthier lifestyle.
AdventureCo Walking Group is proud to have members like Maria, a group walker who testifies to the positive impact walking has had on her overall mental and physical health. After years of being overweight, Maria started walking 5,000 steps a day and gradually increased her daily steps to 15,000. As a result, she is no longer diabetic and has resolved her blood pressure issues. This success story highlights the transformative power of walking, even in its simplest form.
AdventureCo Walking Group also has an active presence on Facebook, where members can join the community and stay connected. With over 600 walking groups nationwide, AdventureCo provides a wide range of options for individuals to find a walking group near them and kickstart their journey towards a healthier heart.
