Walking Off Weight

Robert Sweetgall knows a thing or two about the importance of wearing comfortable shoes. In fact, he’s walked across America seven times (four more times than “Forrest Gump”). Now the author and transcontinental walker is spreading the word about the benefits of walking and is motivating others to take steps to better health, weight loss, improved muscle tone and stress reduction.

Sweetgall will share his inspirational story during Motivation to Move: Fitting 6,000 Footsteps into a Frantic Day on Wednesday, November 6 at 7 p.m. at the Bernards Township Library in Basking Ridge. Somerset Medical Center’s Department of Community Health, the Bernards Township Health Department and the Somerset Hills YMCA are sponsoring this free program. Pre-registration is required. Call 908-203-6234 or register online at somersetmedicalcenter.com.
