How to Celebrate National Walking Day 

Enjoy National Walking Day in a wide variety of ways! Get started celebrating with some of these delightful ideas: 

Go for a Walk 

Obviously, the most important order of business for National Walking Day is to simply get out there and take a walk. 

For a person who takes a daily five mile walk, perhaps this means adding a half mile or just walking to work in celebration of the day. It might even be fun to get that pedometer app on your smartphone working.

But for a person who is typically sedentary, this could mean parking the car at the back of the parking lot at work and walking up to the door, or walking up the stairs instead of taking the elevator. 

While the goal from the American Heart Association would be to walk 30 minutes a day, any little walking that can be done is an improvement and a help!
