Would you like to get more exercise and do so together with others? Then join the walking group ‘Samen Gezond op Weg’. For 20 weeks, you will walk together with walking guides and healthcare professionals in the municipalities of Heumen and Mook en Middelaar.
This walking group is for anyone who wants to get more exercise. For example, if you:
- are overweight
- feel tired or listless
- suffer from heart or vascular conditions

Walking together is good for your health and also enjoyable. Everyone is welcome. You will walk in small groups, so everyone can walk at their own pace. The routes are not suitable for people using a walker or wheelchair. Do you use Nordic walking poles? Then you can join in as well.
