Walking towards better health

Heart Foundation Walking is Australia's largest free walking community.

Over the past 21 years more than 80,000 Australians have participated in the walking program. Heart Foundation Walking is part of a broader Heart Foundation goal to encourage and support walking and physical activity to build the heart health of Australia.

Regular physical activity helps:

  • reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke
  • manage weight, blood pressure and cholesterol
  • prevent and control diabetes
  • reduce your risk of developing some cancers
  • maintain your bone density
  • improve balance and coordination.
