A new fitness program for employees that encourages individual and group walking will put its best foot forward on Feb. 1 at noon on the lawn in front of the Women’s Center. Called “Walk UCSB,” the Recreation Department-sponsored program will provide participants a chance to win raffle prizes at the kick-off.

Each person who signs up for the walking program, which will also offer incentives, will be given a personal pedometer. Details and a registration form can be found at <www.recreation.ucsb.edu/walk>.
