Walking is the simplest and most effective form of aerobic exercise. It provides a variety of physical benefits, including the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, prevention of osteoporosis, diabetes management, and improvement of muscle strength and balance. In addition, it is highly beneficial for mental health, such as alleviating depression.

Eligible applicants are Yangsan citizens aged 20 or older who use smartphones. Registration can be completed online via the "Yangsan Love Healthy Walking" menu on the Yangsan City Public Health Center website, or in person by visiting the Integrated Health Promotion Room on the first floor of the Yangsan City Public Health Center or the Health Measurement Room on the second floor of the Eastern Health Living Support Center.

Participants must achieve the goal of walking 10,000 steps per day, at least five days a week, for five consecutive weeks. Those who meet this goal will receive an Onnuri gift certificate worth 5,000 won as an incentive.
