About WalkingWorks
WalkingWorks is an exciting program that is available to all Arizonans age 18 and older
at no cost, whether or not you are a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona member. It was
developed in cooperation with the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association and the President's
Council on Physical Fitness and Sports. This simple program is designed to help people
"step up" their level of physical activity by integrating walking into their daily routines.
By registering for WalkingWorks, you'll have access to valuable information and motivational
tools that will help you start – and continue – a regular walking routine.
