Heart Walk

As the American Heart Association’s signature fund-raising event, the Start! Heart Walk promotes physical activity and heart-healthy living in a fun family environment. This year more than 1 million walkers will participate in more than 450 events, raising funds to save lives from America’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers — heart disease and stroke.

Walking has the lowest dropout rate of any physical activity. It’s the simplest positive change you can make to effectively improve your heart health. You can kick it up a notch with Balance Walking and burn up to 50% more calories in less time.
