WALKING PROGRAM '
Did you know that walking a mile burns as many
calories as jogging a mile?
In addition to reducing weight, a regular pro
gram of brisk walking significantly increases
your aerobic capacity, conditions, muscles
and strengthens bones. Best of all, fitness
walking is virtually injury-free because its the
safest, most natural exercise there is.
To begin your "Walk to Better Health," call the
Tribal Health Program or stop by the Depot
office for all of the information you will need
about a fitness walking test and program that
can be adapted especially for you. (No
exercise test or program should be undertaken
without the consent of your physican.)
Remember, we are closed during the lunch hour,
12:00 Noon to 1:00 p.m. - we're probably all
out walking.

minutes per mile. Then, multiply
your body weight by caloric cost.
This will tell you bow many calories
you bum per minute. Next, multiply
that number by the number of min
utes you walk. Example (20-min.
pace, 150-lb. person, 50-min. walk):
