Wednesday April 5: National Walking Day

Grab a friend and make a plan to meet up on Wednesday, April 5th to take a 30 min walk and join the country in celebrating National Walking Day.  Even though you could take a 30 min walk every day, it’s great to have the motivation to check this box and enjoy the Spring weather with a friend.  Perhaps it will jump start a great habit-forming ritual!

The American Heart Association established this day in 2007 as a motivator to get people out there to restart an old habit or start a new one of walking regularly. Either way, there is loads of proof that walking improves physical and emotional health. As we age, our feet change and many of us need a bit more support whether it is arch support or memory foam linings, so it may be time to check out these newer options from great brand names here!
