National Walking Day

The American Heart Association invites you to celebrate National Walking Day
Wednesday, April 3, 2013
On this day, Americans are encouraged to lace up their sneakers and take at least 30 minutes out of their day to get up and walk. It's a great way to raise awareness of the importance of physical activity and to give your family, friends and co-workers a friendly push toward a healthier life.

Encourage your community and company to take part in the American Heart Association's National Walking Day.

Get Others Involved:

• Host a walk and/or rally to show your commitment to living longer, healthier lives.
• Rally your family, friends and neighbors to walk that day - and every day.
• Invite your co-workers to wear their sneakers to work.
• Encourage employees to get in their 30 minutes of walking that day.
• Change one of your meetings to a walking meeting, and let your colleagues know why.
• Join others across the country and be part of the solution to get America walking.
• Discover and share more information from the American Heart Association about why physical activity is so important.
• Start Shopping for some physical activity gear and show you support the American Heart Association's healthy living movement.
