Physical activity programs can be full of fun and friendship, as well as effective in helping your members develop endurance, strength, flexibility and balance. Program resources in the Guide include:
- Activity Tool 5 - How to start a walking club
- Other Resources includes a list of programs and videos, and information on how to order them.
Program organizers are encouraged to include the following forms found in Resources: Activity Tools as part of their program registration procedures.
Keep in mind that active living is about more than structured programs. You can find many informal ways to encourage and support your members to be active.
