Let's get moving and celebrate Move More Month on April 1! This month-long event was created by the American Heart Association to encourage people to lead a more active and healthy lifestyle. Whether it's going for a walk, trying out a new workout class, or simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator, every little bit of movement counts towards improving our overall health. So let's lace up our sneakers and start incorporating more physical activity into our daily routines – it's never too late to make positive changes for our well-being!
