About Walking:
For over a decade, exercise walking has been ranked the #1 participation activity in America as surveyed by the National Sporting Goods Association. Walkers outnumber runners by more than 3:1 and walking is one of the most accessible and enjoyable ways to get into shape.

Quick Facts on Walkers:
• Walkers outnumber runners by more that 3:1
• There are approximately 500,000 fitness walkers in the Portland area
• Walking is ranked as the #1 fitness activity in America and growing fast
• Walking is one of the most accessible ways to get in shape and a stepping stone to other fitness activities

Why Walk About Magazine?
Why did we start Walk About Magazine? Because, although walking is the #1 fitness activity in America and walkers outnumber runners 3:1, walkers are routinely ignored or under appreciated in the sports and fitness community. We feel there is a huge need for a magazine that provides the information and inspiration walkers need with the respect they deserve. With over 60% of Americans at an unhealthy weight, it’s time to embrace one of the most accessible and enjoyable forms of exercise available!
