Mount Sinai Brooklyn Celebrates National Walking Day!
The MSB team organized a 30 minute walk to encourage staff to take steps towards a longer, healthier life.
The annual event is a call-to-action to increase physical activity by starting with a 30-minute walk during the work day. The first Wednesday in April is National Walking Day and it encourages Americans of all ages to get out and stretch their legs and get their hearts pumping. The American Heart Association sponsors this day to remind people about the health benefits of taking a walk. Wear your sneakers (or take them with you) to work, and at some point in the day, take a 30-minute walk.
Physical activity is one of the best ways to improve overall health and manage stress, yet 1 in 4 U.S. adults are sedentary for more than eight hours each day, which can have negative consequences on physical and mental health.
