On Wednesday, April 28, 2010, Independence Blue Cross (IBC) and nearly 70 employers took part in the third annual National Walk @ Lunch Day in the Philadelphia region. Each year Blue Cross® and Blue Shield® companies across the nation encourage employers, students, and state legislators to join together, wear comfortable walking shoes, and take a walk at lunch. Once again in 2010, tens of thousands of walkers in all 50 states joined in the fun.
While nearly 20 companies joined IBC’s centralized walk at City Hall in Philadelphia, many planned walks at their own locations outside of Center City. While it’s a short walk, it’s a great way to kickoff a regular walking routine which many of these companies have been able to inspire among their employees. It’s easier than one may think to incorporate fitness into each and every day. Physical activity can find its way into even the busiest of schedules, and National Walk @ Lunch Day demonstrates just that.
Congratulations to the 2010 National Walk @ Lunch Day participants!
