Congratulations walkers for making an effort to get out and walk this month! Some sources say it takes about 30 days to form a habit, so don’t stop now! Figure out ways to stay active and get those steps in daily such as.... Parking farther away from the store entrance Taking the stairs when possible ... Walking while you are on a call with your family/friends Taking walking breaks at work to get your blood flowing and your mind clear Be on the lookout for how to pick up your sip n’ snack cup for participating in the challenge! As always, we appreciate you! #parksandplaygroundswalkingchallenge
