It’s Walk-tober!

Get Your Walk On!  It’s almost Walk-tober!

We are promoting walking, because it’s one of the perfect forms of exercise.  WHY?  For MANY reasons, including:

It’s easy on your joints.

• Almost everyone can do it.
• There is no need for equipment to participate.
• It benefits are not limited to physical health; walking can also contribute to boosting your overall well-being!
• You can do it anywhere!

When you walk, you remove yourself from your everyday stressors.  It gives you a break from your usual routine.  Taking a walk gives you an opportunity to just think, wind down after a long day, or spend some time with others.  It can give you more energy than you had prior to starting your walk.  And it can heighten your mood!

Our 6-Week Walking Challenge is going on right now!  September 12 – October 24  ~  And, in order to help promote a healthy lifestyle and celebrate Walk-tober, we are inviting colleagues to please feel free to wear your sneakers this Friday (September 30^th) and everyday throughout the month of October!
