Walker of the Month February 2020

Roberta Bayles is our walker for February. She is 74 years young and has been married for 51 years. That’s awesome Roberta!! She has 2 daughters and 5 grandkids. She is originally from Pennsylvania and moved to Arizona in 1993 and has lived in Lake Havasu for 6 years. She is retired but volunteers a lot!!!

Roberta is a diabetic and heart disease runs in her family. She feels better when she walks and her dog insists on it!! She walks Monday-Friday 7:30-8:00 a.m. with her husband and dogs in her neighborhood.

Roberta has diabetes and high blood pressure and hopes her numbers are better at her next check-up!! She says exercise helps the body and brain!!

Roberta says walking first thing in the morning helps jump start the day and having a walking buddy gives you that “push” to get out there. Her dog helps her to not skip a day. She says consistence is key; whatever you do make it a habit. So, grab a buddy, the dog and improve your health and “Get On Your Feet!!”
