Long Reef Walking Group
Activity Details
Join the Belong Club for a fun-filled morning, walking and exploring the beautiful Long Reef headland! Lace up your sneakers and get ready to soak in the stunning coastal views and fresh ocean breeze.
The group will meet every second Monday at 9 am on the grass alongside the Long Reef Golf Club. We will head eastbound along the paved path toward the headland. There is a slight incline which is worth it for the view. Once we reach the top, we can soak in the spectacular view, and with any luck, we may see bird life, hang gliders, dolphins, and whales. We will continue along the trail atop the coastal cliffs toward Long Reef Beach. Once the trail reaches the beach, the trail veers away from the beach along a wooden boardwalk through the bushland. The path will take us through to Griffith Park where we can finish our walk with a coffee at one of the local cafes.
Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just starting out, this event is perfect for all fitness levels. The track is an easy walk with a slight incline at the beginning. It’s a 3 km circuit and should take about 1 hour.
Don’t forget to bring your water bottle, sunscreen, and comfortable walking shoes.
Join the Long Reef Walking Group and let’s make unforgettable memories together. See you there!

Walking Your Way to Less Back Pain
A recent study from Macquarie University’s Spinal Pain Research Group has revealed that an individualized walking and education program can significantly reduce the recurrence of low back pain. The WalkBack trial, which involved over 700 participants, demonstrated that a progressive walking plan combined with education sessions led to longer periods without back pain and proved to be a cost-effective intervention. This accessible and low-cost approach offers a promising solution for managing and preventing low back pain, potentially easing both personal discomfort and healthcare expenses.
Time vs. Steps: What's Best for Health Targets?
Embracing an active lifestyle is a key pillar of healthy aging, but how should older Australian women track their physical activity? A study by Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital offers valuable insights into this question. By comparing the benefits of monitoring exercise time versus step counts, the research provides a clearer picture of what works best for health in this demographic.
Walking: A Lifesaving Habit for Older Adults
In a groundbreaking study by Monash University, the benefits of walking for transport among older adults have been revealed. This research, spanning over 11,000 community-dwelling seniors in Australia, underscores the profound impact of something as simple as walking on longevity. Even engaging in transport-related walking just once a week has shown to significantly lower the risk of all-cause mortality. With implications for public health policy and urban planning, this study advocates for making walking a more accessible and appealing mode of transport for older adults.
