Walking is more than just a way to get from one place to another - it is a gentle, low-impact form of exercise that offers many health benefits. Regular walking can improve cardiovascular health, enhance muscular strength and endurance, and promote increased joint mobility.

Beyond physical health, walking also serves as a powerful tool for mental wellbeing. It can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression - providing a natural boost to your mood through the release of endorphins. Additionally, walking outdoors connects you with nature and your community, which can enrich your sense of wellbeing and belonging.

Join us as we step into a healthier and happier lifestyle through the simple act of walking. Whether you are taking a brisk walk around campus or exploring local trails, every step counts towards a healthier you!

The campus of CSUB is filled with great places for faculty, staff, students, and community members to take a stroll along the tree-lined buildings, art installations, and campus landmarks. This walking map shows some of the suggested walking routes that can be completed in 20 minutes or less - perfect for taking a walk between classes, on your break or lunch, or during a weekend outing. Each of these paths can add between 1,200 and 2,000 steps to the 10,000 steps that are recommended daily.
