Want to exercise but not sure where to start? Walking is one of the best forms of exercise. Did you know that walking is a form of weight bearing exercise? Weight bearing exercise helps increase bone density which then helps prevent osteoporosis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/American College of Sports Medicine recommend 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activities 5 or more days a week. Regular physical activity significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. So, find a friend and start walking! Please adhere to our designated lanes for walkers and runners as well as the designated direction for that day. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday- Clockwise/Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday-Counter Clockwise. If you need some help keeping track of the laps you’ve walked, stop by the front desk and purchase a tally counter to log your laps and miles. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Stroller times are limited to Monday-Friday 8:00 am – 3:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday 1:00-3:00 pm.
