National Walking Day is Tomorrow - April 5th

NATIONAL WALKING DAY

The first Wednesday in April is National Walking Day.  The American Heart Association sponsors this day to remind people about the health benefits of taking a walk.  Wear your sneakers (or take them with you) to work, and at some point in the day, you are encouraged to take a 30-minute walk. 

Here are some great ways to make that 30-minutes more enjoyable:

• Wear comfortable clothes.
• Take a friend to pass the time.
• Make sure to stretch those muscles.
• Dring plenty of water.
• Move your arms, too.
• Make sure you have good posture.

Take thirty minutes out of your day to go for a walk and use #NationalWalkingDay to post on social media.

HISTORY
