Aiming to “A Town where you can spend A Healthy and happy Life – Hinode,” we have been constructing a Health Promotion Plan, and effectively and comprehensively promoting the fitness of the town residents.
However, the results of survey for Health Promotion Plan conducted on January 2015 showed that around 40% of the residents did not exercise regularly in the past 3 months, especially those in their thirties and forties. Over 50% of them explained the reason as ‘too busy to exercise.’
To solve this problem, we implement events related to physical activities and exercises. The goal is to make the people aware of exercising in a daily basis and to continue taking physical activities without straining themselves.

In order to promote walking exercise in the community as a part of the community health activity plan, we conducted Walking Courses for members of building up health promotion.
・On-site courses were held by walking through Hirai course and Okuno course (fiscal years 2017 and 2018)
(30 members participated in total.) *Members of building up health promotion are the persons who organize the activity of the building up health promotion in the local communities such as cities, towns and villages by assisting the health services and/or by volunteer activities. These members are appointed by their own community government according to their own procedure.
