International Walking Day
June 19 · Level 7 · #875 of 2238
This light-hearted day celebrates the simplest kind of exercise: you can start from your front door at any moment, and you need no equipment. It nudges everyone to put work aside and take a stroll.
How it is celebrated: friends and colleagues go out for group walks, cities offer walking tours, and many people simply pick a longer route home and leave the phone in a pocket.
The World Health Organization recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity a week, and brisk walking counts towards that goal.
