According to www.countyhealthrankings.org, Hart County adults have an obesity rate of 40%. The Hart County Extension Family Consumer Science Agent began promoting a "Walk and Talk" program in a local park to encourage adults and families to become active. The club met weekly through May and June. The program was promoted by reaching out to extension participants, social media posts and simply by talking to people. Various adults participated and enjoyed being physically active and connecting with others through walking and talking. The Walk and Talk Program had more than 20 participants in the first 2 months. Therefore, the program continued through July.
