National Women's Health and Fitness Day

National Women's Health and Fitness Day focuses on the importance of regular physical activity and health awareness for women, and is the largest annual event of its kind in the country—with 500 local groups and 50,000 to 75,000 women participating each year. Events are held "at senior centers, hospitals, health clubs, park and recreation districts, local health and service organizations, schools, retirement communities, houses of worship, and other community locations." Activities such as walking events, health screenings and workshops, and exercise demonstrations take place. It is a "sister" event to National Senior Health and Fitness Day, which takes place each May, and it takes place during National Women's Health and Fitness Week.
