This Monday marks the start of Everybody Walk Week. Local organizations are working together with the medical community to encourage everyone to walk more. There are so many benefits to going for a quick walk, plus you can walk pretty much anywhere for free. Just throw on some sneakers and you are ready to go.

Walking is not just restricted to the outdoors. Walking around the mall,  window shopping with friends counts too. With fall rushing in last week  staying indoors may seem like a better option right now.

If you are looking for other places to walk around why not explore downtown Pittsburgh. Reward yourself for your healthy living and stop into one of the great Pittsburgh Salons, Verve 360. Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure as a reward or continue your new healthy lifestyle and join in on a pilates or yoga class.
