Pardee Hospital’s Footsteps to Fitness program began Monday, Jan. 2, to kick off a new year of healthy lifestyles. WLOS came out to the Pardee Health Education Center today to meet some of the participants and hear experiences with the 13-year-old program.
Footsteps to Fitness is a walking program to keep members of the community active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Participants will keep a log of their walking minutes throughout the year while enjoying various prize incentives. Participants at any fitness level are welcome to join and can walk anywhere they choose.
Enrollment fee is five dollars for the full year and includes a log book. Footsteps to Fitness began taking registrations on Jan. 2. Enrollees must register in person at the Pardee Health Education Center.
