National Mall Walk club
Introduction
Adults who are regularly physically active may also obtain other health benefits and positive outcomes, such as maintaining or losing weight, improving sleep, and for older adults, maintaining their independence, reducing their risk of falls, and delaying the onset of cognitive decline and dementia.

Most inactive adults can safely begin a walking program.
Physical Activity Recomendations for all Adults
To gain health benefits, national guidelines recommend that adults, including older adults, should obtain at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity, or 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous-intensity activity.


Why Mall Walk?
Increase walking among midlife and older adults, who are typically less active than younger adults.
