Break out the walking shoes and break away from your desk

Its time to dust off your walking shoes and get away from your desk.  April 25 is National Walk@Lunch Day.

If the weather is nice and you aren't too tied down to your desk, get up and join the nation in walking at lunch on this special day. The whole idea for Walk@Lunch day is to complement your work schedule and lifestyle not compete with it.  This is a chance to improve your health, and decrease the cost of healthcare for you and your work and it could even be a jumping off point to starting a new lunch time routine.

Bring comfortable shoes and take a walk on April 25, come join the 'revolution.'
