National Walking Day is celebrated annually, the first Tuesday of every April. Its primary goal is to encourage people to incorporate more physical activity into their daily routines by simply taking a walk. The event raises awareness about the health benefits of walking, which include reducing the risk of heart disease, improving mental well-being, and maintaining a healthy weight. Many communities and workplaces participate by organizing group walks or promoting individual walks throughout the day. National Walking Day serves as a reminder for people of all ages to prioritize their cardiovascular health through the accessible and enjoyable activity of walking.
