The Power Walking class encourages you to use all 650 muscles because it varies the speed, direction, and movements. You can walk one, two, or three miles, and the program targets all ages and fitness levels—high impact, low impact, or no impact. No registration or membership is required – show up and start walking! The best part is that it’s 100% FREE.
