AHA’s Boston office laces up for National Walking Day

These days, we’re spending more time at work and sitting in front of a screen than ever before. We’re becoming less active, which can increase our risk of heart disease, stroke and other diseases.

Members of the American Heart Association's Boston team took part in National Walking Day on Wednesday.

The American Heart Association’s Boston office took the first step to a healthier life Wednesday by taking part in National Walking Day. They joined participants across Massachusetts and the country by lacing up their sneakers to take 30 minutes out of their day to get up and walk.

There are countless ways you can get active, but walking has the lowest dropout rate of them all! It’s the simplest positive change you can make to improve your heart health.
