American Heart Association kicks off walking campaign
The American Heart Association’s National Start! Walking Day kicks off in Kettering on Wednesday, April, 8. Start! is the American Heart Association’s national initiative that calls on all Americans and their employers to create a culture of physical activity and health to live longer, heart-healthier lives.
The walk will start at 11:45 a.m. at Fairmont High School outdoor track, 3301 Shroyer Road. It will end at 1 p.m. and include local companies competing against each other in events. The intent is to set an example that will encourage others to start a walking regimine.
To help begin a walking plan, go to www.heart.org/start.
The American Heart Association currently has four initiatives designed to help specific groups of Americans. Go Red For Women focuses on cardiovascular disease in women. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation combats childhood obesity. Power To End Stroke speaks to the African American community about its disproportionately high risk. And Start! works to help adults get more physical activity into their daily lives.
