A day to promote Healthy legs

Today, and September 9th annually, is "Healthy Legs Day". In Japanese: Kenkō bikyaku 健康美脚. The date was chosen because somebody believed that 9/9 looks the way healthy legs should be! Quite different to "legs 11" as is said in some English speaking countries. 


The anniversary was established by Sports Republic, a general incorporated association with a secretariat located in Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. The aim of the day is to promote sports activities and also to support athletes' second careers after retirement. 


This post is short and sweet as there is not much else to say about this random anniversary! I think it is common sense that the best way to keep legs healthy is to stay active. Walking is a great way to accomplish that and is free and easy to do.
