National Park
and Recreation Month is celebrated each year in July. This month emphasizes the
importance of community parks and recreational areas and they role they play in
promoting health and physical activity. Although we’re nearing the end of the
month, there’s no time like the present to get moving and become active.
Here are 5
ways for you to become active
1. Take a walk through your local park
2. Canoe or kayak along the river – some
parks have an area for you launch your canoe or kayak.
3. Swing on a swing set - bring out the kid in you.
4. Go on a bike ride
5. Participate in a virtual 5k – for those
who want to kick their fitness routine up a notch there are many 5k races
offered virtually. You can select one that has a charitable cause you would
like to support.
