Walk Your Way to Better Health
Walking is one of the best forms of exercise. It improves circulation and can ward off heart disease, brings up the heart rate, lowers blood pressure, strengthens the heart, and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. It also can help you stay in shape, lose weight, improve joints, sleep better, and lighten your mood. Click here for a helpful article on the many benefits of walking>

Want to take part in your own challenge?! It is easy to do. Start small, track your steps each day, and steadily increase the amount you walk each day. Write it down in a journal and set goals for how many steps you want to walk each week. Grab a partner or pet to help you stay motivated. And, make sure to dress for the weather and wear supportive walking shoes.
