Walking Groups
There's a reason why walking is one of the most popular forms of activity in Australia. Walking helps to reduce stress, be more alert, have a healthier body and build strong relationships.
Walking is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. It can be done just about anywhere and is free. Walking also has a very low risk of injury as it is low impact (not jarring on the joints) and doesn’t require any special equipment or training.
There are a number of free Heart Foundation walking groups available for community members to join around Rockingham, see the local walking groups on the Heart Foundation website.
See below for the current Heart Foundation Walking Groups in Rockingham and start walking today.
