Reading is the exercise for your mind! Also, walking is the oldest form of exercise! Some researchers even state that for every hour of brisk walking, life expectancy for some people may increase by two hours.
Try out a variety of exercise classes including Tai Chi Chih, Zumba, Cardio Tone and more. Classes will be previewed in 20 minute increments and will be held outside at the Oakton Park shelter, weather permitting. Dress comfortably and bring a full water bottle. Email Aryn Fletcher with questions.
