JETTI WALKING POLES JOYCE SHULMAN GETS YOU WALKING By Brian Aker 99 WALKS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE Author and founder of Jetti Fitness, Joyce Shulman, has made getting women and men on their feet her mission. Shulman is the author of Walk Your Way to Better: 99 Walks That Will Change Your Life, a motivational book that promotes walking as a pathway to mental wellness and happiness, with the added bonus of improved fitness, thus presenting walking not as a task, but as a way to reconnect the body and mind. Timing is everything, and Shulman’s book provides people everywhere a blueprint of how to maximize a healthy activity for much more than just physical fitness. “We started 99 Walks in late 2019,” says Shulman, “and not surprisingly, we’ve seen tremendous growth since that time. What has totally heartened me is that walking is having a moment. So many people discovered the benefits of walking for their mind and mood, even beyond their body. People are holding onto that and continuing to maintain the walking practice. Some people have abandoned it, of course, but many more have held onto it, and since I believe truly with every fiber of my being that walking is a gateway to so much goodness, it just thrills me.” Social Life
