Grace Yanchuk, Eugene Boychuk and Ron Wagar were a few of the many walkers taking advantage of the indoor walking program at the Sturgis Elementary School on November 17.

     “Walking is one of the best exercises for all age groups and it is free,” said Eugene Boychuk, one of the organizers of the Sturgis indoor walking program.

      The Sturgis indoor walking program kicked off for another season on November 3. It is currently being held at the Sturgis Elementary School every Monday and Thursday evening. The program was organized by the Sturgis Kinsmen Club.

     “Walking has definitely made a difference in my life,” said Ron Wagar. “Ever since I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, over 15 years ago, I have made the time and effort to improve my health by walking.

     “Summer is a very busy time but in the winter I really enjoy walking indoors and the encouragement from my fellow walkers has helped to keep me motivated,” said Ron Wagar.

     “It is free to join with lots of good benefits, whatever may be your physical condition,” said Eugene Boychuk. “Walking indoors away from the elements is a good way to derive excellent weight loss and maintain good health in a safe environment.

     “Walking makes people feel better and they are more energetic and it is a good way to relax,” Boychuk said. “Staying motivated is easy; walk with other people indoors during the winter and with music.

     “This program concludes at the end of March after which participants are encouraged to continue walking outdoors around town when the weather permits,” he said. “Anyone of any age can participate.”
