Walking initiative aims to stop obesity in its tracks

In Colorado a faith based pedometer program enrolls 150000 residents to walk 2000 extra steps daily and cut 100 calories from diets. Organizers hope to reach 1 million nationwide for America on the Move as faith leaders link health and spirituality to curb obesity. Lucille Johnson credits daily walking with weight loss and better hypertension, urging action as scientists balance belief and data.

Colorado style walking program raises steps in study

The America on the Move initiative expands nationwide with pedometer driven goals. In Colorado, Johnson distributed 1600 pedometers to 32 Denver black churches and researchers report 85 percent of over 1000 participants increased daily steps by 2000 to 2500 over 16 weeks. Results on weight loss and long term impact require years. Johnson says she has shed sizes and feels changes.
