According to last year's community health survey, the walking practice rate in the county was 45.1%, which was higher than the Jeollanam-do average of 44.7%, but it was analyzed that it is necessary to maintain the practice rate by consistently walking regularly.

Accordingly, the county plans to provide souvenirs to the first 200 residents who achieve the goals of 10,000 steps a day, a cumulative 200,000 steps in one month, or 400,000 steps in two months.

However, only up to 20,000 steps per day will be recognized.

Anyone who is a resident of Jangseong-gun with a smartphone can participate.

The application period is open until next month, and participants can apply online or by phone, then install the application that records the number of steps and start immediately.

After achieving the goal, participants must visit the public health center in person to verify their records and receive souvenirs.

A representative from the Jangseong-gun Public Health Center said, "Walking is a good exercise that anyone can do without time and place restrictions," and added, "We expect the program to improve residents' health and spread the walking culture."
