April 8: National Start! Walking Day

For a Healthier You
The American Heart Association advises that taking just 10 minutes three times a day to walk will help you live longer. The Association also advises that you can support the fight against heart disease by participating in National Start! Walking Day on Wednesday, April 8.

To supplement your efforts, the library holds a variety of books and instructional DVDs focused on fitness walking. Here's a few you might like to try and of course, don't begin a new exercise regimen without advice from your physician:

Fast Walking by Ron Laird

If you are already fit, fitter or fittest, you might also plan to participate in the upcoming Belltown Spring Sprint (run or walk) scheduled for Sunday, April 26 and sponsored by East Hampton Parks and Recreation.
