Start! Daily Walking Guide

Stay on top of your MyStart! Walking Plan with daily tips, inspirations and your own personal journal!

Walk more, eat well, and you'll live longer.

It's a simple premise, but it's the foundation of the Start! Movement. Research has shown that you can gain about two hours of life for every hour of regular vigorous exercise you do. You couldn't find a better two-for-one deal if you tried!

It's a good thing, too. The American workforce is becoming more and more sedentary. As a result, our waistbands are growing. So are our healthcare costs and the number of preventable illnesses.

Start! is here to stop the trend. Walking is simply the first step toward a healthier lifestyle.
