Saturday, October 9, 2010 Chase Palm Park Pavilion Registration at 9am, 5K Walk at 10am
Participate in National Start! Walking Day:
- Register for the Heart Walk
- Bring your sneakers to work and take a walk
- Make a donation to the Start! Heart Walk to support the mission of the AHA
Americans are spending more time at work than ever before. Unfortunately, as a nation we're becoming more inactive which doubles our risk of heart disease!
This is a problem you can help fix by convincing your company to take part in National Start! Walking Day.
On April 7th, wear sneakers to work and take at least 30 minutes out of your day to get up and walk. It's a great way to raise awareness of the Start! movement and to give your co-workers a friendly push toward a healthier life.
Contact our Start! Heart Walk staff to join the movement today!
- A fiber-rich diet helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, raise HDL (good) cholesterol levels and helps control glucose levels. Fiber-rich foods include oats, peas, beans, apples and carrots. Your daily fiber intake should be 25–30 grams.
- Instead of letting your dog outside in the yard, take him for a walk. It will become a regular routine that racks up fitness points.
- To reduce your sodium intake to lower your blood pressure, use fresh, frozen and canned vegetables without added salt.
