Let’s move for National Walking Day, held annually the first Wednesday in April. The American Heart Association sponsors this movement as part of April’s Physical Activity Month.

Whether exercise is part of your daily routine or you are a newbie, today is a great day to jumpstart your way to maintaining a healthy life. Suggestions by the experts say that simply walking about 30 minutes a day leads to a healthier life and greatly improves being heart healthy.

Let’s Move in April for National Walking Day

National Walking Day got its start in 2007 as a simple way for people to get just a little bit healthier. The American Heart Association established the day to encourage people to get off the couch, get out there and participate in some easy and accessible physical activity.
