Walk It Out For National Walking Day

100 walkers laced up their sneakers in celebration of National Walking Day.

The special day’s walk raises awareness to the importance of physical activity in reducing your risk of heart disease and stroke.

Studies show that people who have a low level of activity double their risk of heart disease.

Physical activity can also relieve depression, improve memory, lower blood pressure and help prevent obesity.

And every hour of regular exercise can add about two years to your life expectancy.
