Day 07 - Take a Walk

By WWTW Fundraising on

Welcome to Day 07 of our Longest Day 80 calendar! Today, we're excited to present our second well-being activity.

Benefits of walking

Walking is a simple yet powerful way to boost your overall health and well-being. It’s an activity accessible to many, regardless of age or fitness level, and can be seamlessly integrated into your daily routine.

The challenge

We have an easy but impactful challenge for you today: get outside and go for a walk.

How to participate

Choose what works best for you whether it’s a 15-minute walk, a 30-minute stroll, or an hour-long trek. Make sure to dress for the weather to stay comfortable. Use this walk as an opportunity to pause and step away from your daily activities. Enjoy the fresh air and let yourself unwind.


Why walking?

Walking not only improves physical health by strengthening muscles and improving cardiovascular fitness, but it also enhances mental well-being. It can reduce stress, boost your mood, and increase your energy levels.

Make It Enjoyable

  • Explore Nature: If possible, find a local park or nature trail to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.
  • Bring a Friend: Walking with a friend or family member can make the experience more enjoyable and help strengthen your connections.
  • Mindfulness: Use this time to practice mindfulness. Pay attention to your surroundings, your breathing, and how your body feels as you move.

What is a mindful walk?

Mindful walking can enhance awareness of the present moment, reduce stress, and improve mental clarity. It’s a great way to connect with your surroundings and take a break from the usual hustle and bustle.
