National Walking Month at NWL
Presented to you by Talha Khan part of Nike’s DE & I
History of National Walking Month
The American Health Association was the first to introduce National Walking Day in 2007 to promote a healthy lifestyle.
The Association organizes events to encourage people to walk for at least half an hour.
The National Walking Day and National Walking Month were both introduced to raise awareness about the importance of physical activities and to have a healthy lifestyle.
Why the focus on walking
Walking is one of the easiest ways to improve our health and stay connected to our community, helping us feel less lonely and isolated.
Research shows that even small amounts of physical activity can make a significant difference to our health. In fact, just 11 minutes of daily activity could prevent one in 10 premature deaths.
Although most people don’t manage to do the recommended 150 minutes of exercise per week, doing some exercise is better than doing nothing. Even doing half the recommended amount could prevent one in 20 cases of cardiovascular disease and nearly one in 30 cases of cancer.
