Embrace Springtime in Montana by Walking -- Join the AARP Montana NeighborWalk Group!

Would you like a little encouragement and a nudge to begin (or continue) a walking routine? 

It can be hard to get motivated to incorporate regular exercise or movement into our schedules. Maybe joint pain, arthritis, or a recent surgery have prevented you from walking regularly. 

We have a solution! 

You can join our NeighborWalk group and add walking to your routine in a way that is safe and comfortable for you. NeighborWalk is a fun and safe way to establish a walking habit with a social connection. 

AARP membership not required. 

NeighborWalk is designed for people of all ages and all abilities and is s based on the Arthritis Foundation’s national Walk With Ease Program.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t yet have a walking routine, or if you already walk regularly! It will be fun to join this group to add a social connection to your fitness routine and you’ll have a chance to visit six different walking trails in our area!

AARP Montana’s FREE, 6-week walking program is scheduled for April 17 – May 22, 2025. The NeighborWalk group, led by AARP Volunteers, will meet weekly at one of Helena's beautiful trails and will walk first and then gather at the Great Northern Carousel for a discussion and ice cream.

The program will kick-off on April 17 at the Great Northern Carousel for stretching, warm-up, and walking at the Centennial Park trail, then back to the Carousel for ice cream.

At AARP Montana, we think that a healthy lifestyle can help us all to deal with the daily stress of living.
