Walking sideways burns more calories than walking forward -- this is due to the effort it takes to make your body work in unfamiliar ways.
Your blood makes up nearly one-tenth of your total body weight, with the average adult having anywhere from 1.2 to 1.5 gallons of blood flowing through their veins.
Laughing is good for the heart and can increase blood flow by 20%

GO! Skokie participants are meeting-up at Oakton Community Center’s parking lot to walk with friends to Sketchbook Brewing Company for one (1) beer tasting per registrant!
