Celebrate National Walking Day!
April 4, 2022 Leave a comment
Come walk with us! Decatur Active Living will celebrate National Walking Day on Wednesday, April 6th at 10 a.m. Meet outside the Decatur Recreation Center and be ready to walk 2-3 miles around Decatur.
The first Wednesday in April is National Walking Day and it encourages Americans of all ages to get out and stretch their legs and get their hearts pumping. The American Heart Association launched National Walking Day in 2007 as part of its efforts to promote healthy living.
Unable to join us? Wear your sneakers (or take them with you) to work, and at some point in the day, take a 30-minute walk.
- Take thirty minutes out of your day to go for a walk.
- Find a trail near you or walk around your neighborhood.
- You can also visit a local park or walk on your treadmill.
- Take your canine pals with you, too. They need the cardiovascular workout, too!
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.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Move your arms, too.
- Make sure you have good posture.
