Walking

All you need is a pair of comfortable walking shoes to put some pep in your step!

Did you know that almost a third of all car trips taken in the U.S. are a mile or less - the equivalent of a 20-minute walk? Shifting more of your trips to the sidewalk is easier than you might think and provides countless benefits to you and your community.

Walking to and from work not only reduces your carbon footprint, but it also helps improve your physical and mental health. Benefits of walking include weight loss, improved cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, and a reduced risk of hypertension, osteoporosis, and type II diabetes. Hitting the pavement also offers psychological benefits by boosting endorphins, which helps reduce stress and improve mood, as well as improve your confidence and sense of wellbeing.

And, of course, walking is easier on your wallet, saving money on fuel, parking, and car maintenance.
