Walk Across Arkansas, one of the largest public fitness initiatives in the state, begins its spring 2015 efforts Monday, Feb. 16.
Last year, participants from across the state walked more than 1.6 million minutes over an eight-week period.
To participate, people may sign up and record the number of minutes they walk or do other exercise for eight weeks. Walkers are encouraged to form teams to keep the enthusiasm high. Participants who report their minutes all eight weeks will earn a Walk Across Arkansas shoe wallet that holds keys and identification by hook-and-loop closure.
To register, visit www.uaex.edu/WalkAcrossArkansas or click the Walk Across Arkansas icon on the homepage at http://www.uaex.edu/WalkAcross. Then start walking through April 12, recording minutes as you go.
