Travel the globe right from your very own location. You can try it yourself, with friends or colleagues. Get a group together and do some walking. Participants are encouraged to count their steps, time or distance. Any type of physical activity can be counted towards your individual or team’s total. Although Fall Prevention Month focuses on being active in November, the Globe Walk Initiative runs over a 4 month period (January – April) to encourage older adults to exercise during the winter months when it tends to be more difficult. You can get a head start.
