In this week's AgriLife Report, Carolyn Tyler talks about how to participate in the Walk Across Texas program.
According to the website, Walk Across Texas "is an eight-week program designed to help Texans establish the habit of regular physical activity. Each adult team may include up to 8 team members, all working together to reach the 832-mile goal to make their way across the state of Texas."
"The whole idea behind this program is if we establish weekly walking habits that we will continue those," Tyler said.
Tyler -- along with the Anderson County extension agent -- created a Facebook group called Commit to be Fit to help residents organize teams and participate in Walk Across Texas. You can join that group here.
"The group is amazing, encouraging, and uplifting and a good thing to be a part of," Tyler said.
The 8-week challenge begins May 1, but join the Commit to be Fit group now to get important information.
