Walking Programs
The WIN Steps Facilitator’s Guide is a collection of ideas and tools for community-based pedometer walking programs. The materials include lessons learned and creative ideas from WIN the Rockies’ walking programs conducted in research communities from 2002 to 2004. There are a variety of ways these materials can be utilized. For all programs, review the Coordinator’s Information and select Promotional Materials as needed. Below is an outline of what may be the most useful additional components depending upon the type of program you are planning.
BASIC:  For a low-maintenance, individual, self-guided program (motivated participants who just need the basics), use             Participant Tracking Tools: Participant’s Step Log             Talk the Walk: Pedometers  INTERMEDIATE:  For a group, distance-based walking program with 2 to 3 group sessions, add Walk this Way: Walking Routes Talk the Walk: Goal Setting Talk the Walk: Fitness Talk the Walk: What’s In Our Community?            COMPLETE:  For an 8- to 16-week program with 4 or more group sessions, add             Footnotes             Remaining Talk the Walk presentations             Evaluation tools
