"I am retired now and do not walk as much as I used to. I have been exercising for almost my entire life (over 40 years) but as I've gotten older it's become harder to stay active. Since beginning this program, I sleep more soundly, have more energy and am excited to workout.”

"An excellent app that's easy to use with helpful walking programs. It keeps me motivated and gives me a plan to follow."

Change Your Life With Low Intensity Walking & Warm Ups
"Walking is man's best medicine"
- Hippocrates, father of modern medicine
Increase Longevity Dramatically
People who walk during the day increase their chance of a longer life by 60%, regardless of how much they exercise! A 2015 review by a cardiologist at the Queensland School of Medicine found that men and women who walked at slow to moderate speeds for one to two hours a week had 66% higher chance of living to old age. Walking has also been linked to greater health outcomes in cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, obesity, depression, and osteoporosis. WOW!
Improve Mood and Cognition
Getting just 20-30 minutes of activity a few times a week can do wonders for stress levels and cognition, especially over time. Studies show that moderate amounts of gentle exercise can greatly reduce the risk and the progression of dementia, stroke, Alzheimer's disease and more. It's also an effective way to reduce stress and relieve depression.
Look and Feel Amazing!
Small changes in activity level can have a powerful effect on your body. Getting on your feet a few times a week makes a significant difference in calorie expenditure and body composition. Combining walking with a diet has a synergistic effect that can dramatically accelerate weight loss.
Find What Motivates You
We all have reasons to get active. For some, it's to keep up with family - a partner, kids, or grandkids. Others want to move more gracefully, be it on the golf course, the tennis court, or at the office. Maybe there's a certain dress you'd like to fit into, or maybe you just want to be more mobile in your daily life. Walk Before You Run encourages you to focus on what makes you happy and use that as your fuel to improve your life! A small amount of activity every week can do wonders for your health, longevity, and mobility. The benefits of staying active will continue to reward you for the rest of your life.
Everything You Need Is In Your Hand
Getting active is simple - you don't need expensive fitness devices, complicated routines, or extravagant systems to track every calorie lost and gained. All you need to do is stand up, and start walking!
Get Out What You Put In
Fitness isn't about how far you can walk, but how committed you are to your health. Setting time aside to focus on yourself a few times a week will do wonders for your self-esteem, stress, and energy levels. Many of our users have told us what a remarkable feeling it is to finish a 4 week program feeling better than they have in years!
Slow Down And Simplify - Lose It!
So many fitness apps today are focused on intense training, complicated schedules, and superficial goals. Training too hard can quickly lead to burn out, injuries, and drastically increase stress levels. Walk Before You Run embraces minimalism to help you "lose it" - lose weight, lose anxiety, lose the extra clutter in your life and take simple steps to a clearer mind and healthier body.
Walk Before You Run is built for those who've had enough of busy days, stressful schedules and exhausting intensity. Come for a walk with us. You won't regret it :)
"I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least - and it is commonly more than that - sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements."
- Henry David Thoreau
