National Walking Day
April 1, 2020
What is National Walking Day?
National Walking Day is every year on the first Wednesday in April. National Walking Day is exactly as it sounds – a day to celebrate the easiest way to be the healthiest version of you. Walking for thirty to sixty minutes per day may sound like it isn’t much, but studies have shown that it can drastically improve your health and even help prevent ailments such as type II diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.
Healing Hearts Network supports this cause each year by sponsoring a Fitness and Fun walk at McClendon Park on March 28, 2020. We invite the Houston community to join us for this great opportunity for fitness and a fun day in the park.
