HomeWYF Introduction





 

 
 
Welcome to Walk Yourself Fit
Presented by Dr. Steve Wilson
and Donna Dawson
 


         


 
   
An introduction to the weekly guided walking program for all ages and fitness levels.
 

We are dedicated to fun, fellowship and fitness.  What is really wonderful about the Walk Yourself Fit program is that members are so busy having fun on our weekly Saturday morning walk they are amazed they are also getting fit!   The normal comment we hear is, “Are we already done?”

 

Don’t be surprised along your path to fitness that you form lasting friendships with our other walkers.  That is certainly a common outcome at Walk Yourself Fit!  Walking Coach Donna Dawson is dedicated to making sure you have a program in your life that will help you stay fit and healthy for years to come, as well as provide you a healthy social environment.   

 

Weekly Saturday walks take place in Redlands.  We also go on a variety of walks during the year outside the immediate area as part of our Travel Club.  We select areas that are picturesque and offer many amenities to make these outings fun for all.

 

Your Walk Yourself Fit membership includes weekly Walk Yourself Fit Updates that provides information on our weekly walks, special upcoming events and Walk Yourself Fit Tips of the Week focusing on walking, equipment, nutrition and related topics.   Updates are posted online at www.rideyourselffit.org and also emailed to you.

 

During the late spring and summer months, we have optional Wednesday evening walks.  These walks are more intensive in nature and designed to help you increase walking pace by learning better walking form and techniques.

 

Before starting any new fitness or exercise program we urge you to consult your primary physician to determine your current health status and ability to participate in the Walk Yourself Fit program.

 

As you take your initial steps toward fitness following our program, Donna will be there by your side to encourage you and guide you.

 

Remember … they are always available to answer your questions.

 

Have fun out there … and congratulations on joining us at Walk Yourself Fit!
