On Thursday 30th July 2009 the Mayor of Worthing, Councillor Noel Atkins visited Homefield Park to officially open The “Hearty” Walk in the Park.

The Hearty Walk is the brainchild of “Cardiac Rehabilitation Support (CRS)” a local registered charity. The committees are formed of cardiac patients who have previously attended the hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation programme after a heart problem and their carers. It is a measured, red walk route that has been marked out along the paths in Homefield Park, adjacent to Worthing Hospital in a bid to encourage people to walk regularly to improve their fitness. They have financed the painting of the line and 2 noticeboards with advice on how to get started with exercise and how to increase fitness. Walkers are encouraged to start with a 5-10 minute walk and gradually increase up to 40 minutes 5 times per week.

The Charity are hoping these simple tips will encourage more people to enjoy the benefits of regular exercise.
