Giving VCU employees the wellness resources they need to be healthy both on and off campus

You already know this healthy activity is great for your heart and lungs, but get this: It can instantly lift your mood too! The secret is to walk near a body of water for just 20 minutes, according to a new study. Oceans, rivers, lakes….all of them count!

Walking in the woods also promotes a sense of well-being! With over 60,000 miles of trails in the National Trail System across the 50 states, there is no lack of opportunity to take a hike.

Make a beeline for the one nearest you!
