National Walking Day is Wednesday, April 2
Walking is good for you. Join in the fun on Wednesday, April 2. 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 isn’t just good for your body—it’s a simple, powerful way to care for your mind and soul. Physical activity, like walking, reduces stress, boosts mood, and promotes overall wellbeing. Yet, walking rates in the U.S. continue to decline, a trend that threatens both mental and physical health.
For decades, the American Heart Association has championed the importance of physical activity in communities across the country. That’s why it created National Walking Day more than a decade ago—to encourage everyone to move more and stress less. Today, we know that even a brisk walk can make a world of difference for heart health and mental clarity. Get free resources at www.heart.org/movemore.
