Benefits

There are many benefits of joining a walking group. Walking itself is a perfect form of exercise for every fitness level, and also allows for social interactions while you are exercising. Physically walking can improve heart health, joint mobility, bone and muscle strength. It can also help to maintain a healthy weight and improve fitness
levels.
Walking is great for your mental health, helping to reduce stress and negative thoughts along with improving your self esteem. It will help you to clear your mind and focus on the ‘here and now’.

The Walking Group is also a fantastic social event, where you can enjoy the beautiful vistas of West Cork in the company of others who have also been affected by cancer and share your experiences.
