When is National Women’s Health and Fitness Day?

National Women’s Health and Fitness Day is the last Wednesday in September.

What is National Women’s Health and Fitness Day?

Women live longer on average than men. Sorry guys, but it’s true all over the world, and National Women’s Health and Fitness Day is the perfect day to celebrate healthy lifestyles that lead to long, happy lives.

On this day, women will gather all over the United States to learn about healthy choices and the importance of regular physical activity. As the largest event promoting women’s health in the nation, National Women’s Health and Fitness Day gives local organizations the chance to display their programs and services.

So get out there, ladies, and take charge of your health!

Fun facts about National Women’s Health and Fitness Day!

  • The Health Information Resource Center started National Women’s Health & Fitness Day back in 2002. Each year, more than 50,000 women participate in activities connected with this day.
