Have You Had Your Walk Today?

Here are the top ten reasons to walk in Ashburn today:

  •  Every step counts as part of the 150-minute quota recommended.
  • Feel energized after and ready to tackle the next challenge -- even if it is mowing the lawn.
  • Enjoy our beautiful areas, full of nature. 
  • Great excuse to socialize or walk the dog.
  • Bestows creativity -- easier to think “out of the box”.  Honest.  Try it!
  • Positive influence on others.
  • For the effort, an incredible return... and takes less time and effort than you think.
  • Lower health risks -- our average calories consumed is a whopping 2,700 but you’ll improve your chances.
  • Keep your weight down... fifty years ago, ten percent of everyone was overweight but today it is close to seventy percent.
  • Pledge to walk for a personal cause -- sounds silly but it works!
