The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office in Fort Bend County will host a Walk Across Texas! Adult program from March 17 – May 11.
The Walk Across Texas! Adult program (18+) is a FREE, eight‐week online program designed to help Texans establish the habit of regular physical activity. Since 1996, thousands of Texans have participated in the Walk Across Texas! Adult program. The WAT program is an online, eight-week program designed to help Texans be more active using a team-based approach. Up to eight Team Members are encouraged to work together towards the goal of virtually traveling across Texas. Your favorite physical activities are logged as ‘miles walked’ and contribute toward your team’s mileage total.
“You can walk together, individually, outside, at a mall, at a grocery store or at a gym — any way that fits your schedule and lifestyle,” said Leticia Hardy, County Extension Agent – Family & Community Health. “Keep track of your team’s miles to see if together you can go the equivalent of the 832 miles it would take to walk across Texas in eight weeks.”
Leticia Hardy said, “Anyone can participate. Bring your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and classmates.”
Registration open now! For more information on how to register, please contact Victoria Zwahr @ 281.342.3034 or by email at victoria.zwahr@ag.tamu.edu. You can also visit our website at https://fortbend.agrilife.org/fch/physical-activity/walk-across-texas/.
