Categories: Diabetes Prevention,Promote Health and Wellness

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan’s WalkingWorks program encourages members to find opportunities to walk more every day and provides resources and tools for tracking their progress.  WalkingWorks also provides a comprehensive set of materials available on CD-ROM to help members launch worksite walking programs.  The program is designed to raise awareness of the health risks posed by an inactive lifestyle and demonstrate the value of simply walking at a brisk pace, an activity that has been shown to reduce heart disease and diabetes risks and help control weight, improve muscle tone and enhance wellness.
