Take the first step
Get out
Keep those feet moving
Everyone wins
The Canadian Volkssport Federation
When we go for our walks, everyone is
a winner. Our walks are noncompetitive,
yet provide much in the
areas of physical fitness, social activity
and unsuspected health benefits.
Walking just 3 or 4 times a week for
40 minutes at a time is enough to keep
one fit and healthy. Walking offers
the least negative impact on our bodies
for the greatest return at the lowest
cost. Study after study show that a
reasonable walking program can
produce a substantial decrease in the
incidence and severity of such health
problems as:
· obesity
· diabetes
· heart attack
· stroke
· depression
· arthritis
· osteoporosis
· colorectal cancer
· breast cancer
· …..among others
Who are we?
We are people like you who enjoy
getting together to go for a walk in
various parts of the community we
live in. We walk for ‘Fun, Fitness
and Friendship’. Our clubs also
organize other social activities for
all to participate in. Costs are
modest and everyone ‘wins’.
There are other clubs throughout
the province and many opportunities
to walk in other communities where
there are not yet any clubs.
In Ontario, other CVF Clubs are found in:
| Kingston | Downsview [GTA] |
| Brighton | CFB Borden |
| New Liskeard | Sudbury |
| Waterloo | Callander |
