Program Description
The Live Long, Live Well Walking Program helps New Jersey residents age fifty and older to walk their way to better health and improved physical fitness. Live Long, Live Well participants receive a free walker's logbook with helpful hints to make walking a safe, fun and beneficial experience. Participants can walk alone, with a friend or with a group, and each walker gradually works up to walking 30 minutes, or the equivalent of two miles per day, four or five days a week. Participants who track their progress in the logbook and walk regularly for 12 consecutive weeks receive recognition from the Governor. Website includes community and individual resources and reports miles walked by county.
