Walk to Work...

Studies show that when done briskly on a regular schedule, walking can improve the body's ability to consume oxygen during exertion, lower the resting heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and increase the efficiency of the heart and lungs. Walking has several unique advantages over other forms of exercise - you can do it almost anywhere, anytime, and it's free!
  • If you live within a 2 to 5 mile radius of your office, consider walking to work.
  • Walking is a healthy way to get to your job every day.
  • Pick your route and make sure that you obey all traffic rules.
  • Bring a friend.
  • Share your commitment with your employer. Your employer may offer you a flexible schedule in case you arrive a few minutes late!

The mission of the American Lung Association is to prevent lung disease and promote lung health.
