Take a Walk Outdoors Day

History

It is impossible to say when Take a Walk Outdoors Day began to be or who its creator was. This day provides an opportunity to remind people of the necessary daily activity that allows you to recharge your batteries and maintain a healthy state of all organs and systems of the body.

Most of us spend a lot of time at the computer or sitting. Such a lifestyle negatively affects our posture, and all processes in the body are disrupted.

Walking in the fresh air is a great way to relax and escape from the daily routine. You can also concentrate on your thoughts and understand yourself. Daily walking improves the body’s absorption of vitamin D (produced when walking on sunny days).

There are walking clubs in many countries. In the 20th century, race walking became popular and became an official Olympic sport.
