(SPOT.ph) We've all seen those running clubs around the Metro—they all make up a fun community that gathers people who share the same love for running. They seem like a win-win situation, keeping anyone who joins often enough both active and social.
But why not have that same opportunity to meet new people without the rigor and intensity of full-on running? What if you've just begun to dip your toes into the pools of fitness? There's a club for you, too. Enter Just Walk PH.
There's a club that goes for walks around Metro Manila.
You already know walking has its fair share of health benefits: it burns calories, improves heart and bone health, boosts your mood, even clears your mind, and a whole lot more. It doesn't really require as much as other sports or exercises, but walking for at least 30 minutes at a time can have some impact on your health. Just Walk PH is a community that can help you get out to walk more and even make new friends along the way, with over 2,000 followers on Instagram at time of writing.
Just Walk PH organizes regular walks at various spots in the Metro. Anyone can join—open to all ages and fitness levels. They usually meet on Sundays. They post a schedule of their walks (as well as the route) on their Instagram, but they also have a group chat via Viber.
According to their page, they explore spots within the Metro, including parks and neighborhoods. But they sometimes plan walks in scenic locations or new routes. They don't require you to RSVP for their walks (unless otherwise stated)—you can just show up at the starting point and walk with the group.
You can also bring your dogs to walks! However, it'll be much more enjoyable if you check the routes firsthand and see if your dogs will be safe during the walk.
For September, they have walks starting this week, September 7, starting from Rockwell to Ayala. On September 14, they will be walking around BGC. There's a Rizal Park to MOA Eye route on September 28. Ready your good 'ol reliable and comfortable pair of walking shoes, wear your most weather-appropriate apparel, and start your next steps with this new club!
