Exercise and discipline are key elements in raising a healthy, balanced, and happy best friend. Walking with our dogs is awesome for both us and our dogs. It is great exercise and great for our health, soothes anxiety, and strengthens the bond between us and our dogs. This group is just about that. It is about fun, good health, and making good friends, for both us and our pups. We plan to hold dog pack walks that meet in various parts of Central Park. We welcome dogs of all sizes and just reques …

Are you a gay man over 40 who loves to hike? I have done a few hiking trips recently (Scotland & Peru) and am looking to do some hikes around the NYC area.

Join City View Pharmacy of Astoria's Spring Walking Club! It's free and easy. Just meet at City View Pharmacy, 23-07 Astoria Blvd. Astoria, NY on Tuesdays at 10AM and/or Thursdays at 6pm for a friendly walk with the group. Walkers will "meet up" at the pharmacy and proceed to Astoria Park. All walks are at your own pace. Walk with us for an hour (less or more is fine!) for wellness, fresh air, conversation and fun.

This group is for anyone interested in outdoor walking around the beautiful Battery Park City area for health and fitness. I started this group to jump start our moving into Spring/Summer activities, and as a great way to connect to neighbors. Looking forward to meeting everyone interested in walking for fitness in this very scenic and beautiful location.

I decide to start this group because I enjoy walking and love Central Park. The 6 mile loop is challenging and great as part of my exercise routine. It would be great to have a group of women who also enjoy walking to help me push myself to go there and push my time to make it a challenge. This is for women who are interested in walking at a brisk pace for 6 miles, or working up to walking at a brisk pace.

Let's get together for walks in Central Park while talking about whatever comes to mind plus health, healthy living, food & cooking, wellbeing, spirituality, and intuitive living. I am a Health Coach and have my own business working with clients. I'd love to meet other like minded people and hit the pavement for some exercise while we're at it!

This group is founded on the belief that civilized people like to sleep in on weekends, and lead their active lives in the afternoon. Hiking is not only exercise, it's also a great chance to socialize in pleasant surroundings. All hikes will finish with dinner at an affordable restaurant willing to do separate checks. Suggestions for new routes are welcome, but will only be considered if the hike is at least 4 miles long and an appropriate restaurant at the end of the path is recommended.  Rou …

Harriman State Park is easily accessible by bus and car. The hike is moderately difficult but d …
