Apr 4, 2022
The shorter days of winter are over, so there’s more daylight to be active. And there’s no better way to kick off spring than with National Walking Day, which takes place on the first Wednesday of April. The American Heart Association sponsors this day to remind everyone of the importance of stretching your legs and getting your blood pumping. So grab your water bottle, invite a friend, throw on some men’s, women’s or kids’ shoes from Hibbett | City Gear and enjoy a stroll to celebrate National Walking Day!
Make Plans to Pound the Pavement
Weekdays can be busy, but there’s always time for healthy activity. Here are some suggestions to help you schedule a 30-minute walk on National Walking Day:
- Take your Nike sneakers to work and lace-up for a lap or two around the block during your lunch break. Pop in your earbuds to jam to your favorite tunes or enjoy your favorite podcast.
- Catch up with a friend during an afternoon stroll. Don’t forget your Oakleys to keep the sun out of your eyes.
- Stock your backpack with the supplies you need to hit the hiking trails. Take your family, a friend or simply enjoy nature solo.
No matter where you choose to stroll, your heart, muscles, bones and mind will thank you.
Shoes to Help You Celebrate
Of course, if you’re planning to be active — whether it’s walking, running or shooting hoops — you need athletic sneakers that will keep up. At Hibbett | City Gear, we strive to bring you the best brands to help you stay active and healthy, so you can enjoy exercising throughout the year. Walking? We got you. Playing basketball? No problem. Hiking? We’re there. Here are just a few benefits of our shoe selections:
- Enjoy a walk or run in Nike’s Air VaporMax, featuring VaporMax air technology, responsive cushioning and a lightweight, durable design.
- Head out for a 60-minute speed walk in the adidas Ultraboost. This running shoe includes the adidas foot-hugging Primeknit upper coupled with the energizing Boost midsole.
- Let your kiddo’s basketball shoes pull double duty. Lace them up in a pair of boys’ or girls’ Jordans to walk to the basketball court for an evening practice session.
- Grab a pair of Timberland boots so you’re ready to rock the hiking trails.
Stay active on National Walking Day as well as every other day. Visit Hibbett | City Gear in-stores or online to find your favorite sneaks, apparel and accessories for men, women and kids.
