Two Nolensville students Take part in the annual Walk to School Day 

On October 10, dozens of students, parents and teachers at Nolensville Elementary School ditched their cars and put on their walking shoes for Nolensville's third annual Walk to School Day.  Participants began the one mile trek from the old Nolensville Elementary School to the new one early that morning.  Organizers say the event began several years ago as a way to promote walking and other forms of exercise.  "Walking is exercise," says Nolensville P.E. Teacher Deborah Russell.  "It's not painful and it's not expensive." 

Experts say general health benefits are acquired from

any walking.  On average, people will burn roughly 100 calories for every mile they walk.  For cardio benefits, the key is walking fast enough to get your heart rate up.

Students gather on October 10, 2008 for Nolensville Elementary School's annual Walk to School Day.
