Health-ify your Earth Day

  

Earth Day is 04/22 but the entire month is an opportunity to use our shared environment to give back to ourselves and the earth we walk on every day. Movement and time outside are essential for a healthy brain and well-being. Even just 15-20 minutes can make a huge difference! If you’re looking to make a positive impact in your life, grab a friend and try out these fun, heart-healthy activities!
