ACCEHW organizing National Walking Day event

Wednesday, March 26, 2014

The American Heart Association National Walking Day is Wednesday, April 2. To celebrate, the Advisory Committee to the Chancellor for Employee Health and Wellness is sponsoring a 20- to 30-minute walk around campus. Faculty and staff members who would like to participate should meet outside Belk Gym at 11 a.m.

Research shows that each hour of regular exercise can add roughly two hours to a person’s life expectancy. The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week for adults.

UNC Charlotte Center City employees are encouraged to participate in a National Walking Day event being held at noon at Romare Bearden Park.
