Welcome!!

The ‘Spring into Summer’ initiative is a statewide effort to address the public health challenge of physical inactivity, a key contributor to chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Anchored in evidence-based programs, the initiative integrates the Move Your Way campaign (developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) with the Walk With Ease program (created by the Arthritis Foundation). The Move Your Way messaging will promote interest and awareness in physical activity and the FREE Walk with Ease program is positioned to address needs by helping Iowans build behavioral skills and habits needed to adopt and sustain an active lifestyle.
