Today, April 8, Is National Start Walking Day

Today is National Start Walking Day, a campaign by the American Heart Association which recommends a 30-minute walk each day. The benefits of vigorous, regular exercise can improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels, help maintain body weight and lower the risk of obesity, enhance mental well being, reduce the risk of osteoporosis, as well as reduce the risks of breast and colon cancer and coronary heart disease. For more information, you can visit AmericanHeart.org and, in the meantime, start walking.
