Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital has collaborated with nonprofits to create local walk/runs. The goal of the collaboration was to encourage people to prioritize their health. Being consistent in one’s walking routine is an important factor in developing a healthy physical activity program. Some of the positive outcomes for walkers include:
- People who walk approximately 20-25 miles per week outlive those who don’t by several years.
- On average, every minute of walking can extend your life by 1.5 to 2 minutes.
- Walking 20 extra minutes daily will on average burn off 7 pounds of body fat per year.
Other upcoming 5K Walk/Runs planned for the Hospital are:
- January 7, 2023 | Winter Snowball Walk/Run at Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital
- February 4, 2023 | Ground Hog Walk/Run at Mon Health Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital.
