Walking is good for you. Join in the fun on the first Wednesday in April! Let’s walk together to benefit our hearts, bodies and minds. Remember, exercise is one of the best ways to keep your body healthy and release stress. Regular physical activity boosts your mood, gives you energy and improves your quality of sleep.
A walk is not just good for your body, it’s good for your soul. Physical activity is one of the best ways to reduce stress and boost mood. But recent reports show that walking rates are declining steadily in the US. A trend that can negatively impact mental and physical health.
Maybe you haven’t been active for a while. No problem! Just get started. It’s not all or nothing; it’s step by step. Even if you’re already active, here are some easy ways you can add more steps to your day:
- Grab the leash, and take the dog out for a walk.
- Forget about rock star parking. Park a bit farther from the entrance to your workplace, school, grocery store, restaurants and other places you visit.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator, even if just for one or two floors.
- Catch up with a friend by walking around the block while you chat on the phone.
