Minutes in Motion - Week 1
Start recording your minutes as of September 18th! Have a comment or suggestion for the program then fill out our Comment Form.
Excuse Busters 1!
So you say you don’t have enough time to take a walk. Remember even a short 10 minute walk counts. Wake up 15 minutes earlier than usual, and squeeze in a quick stroll before your morning coffee.
Walk with someone. Ask a co-worker or a friend if they would “walk and talk”. Don’t give up that favorite TV show but at the end of the show, take a 10-minute break for a stroll down the block and back.
Walk at lunch time or walk during your break. Remember that the health benefits of walking are powerful enough that they trump just about any excuse.
Other Community Activities -
The Golf Courses remain open for the end of the season golfing.
Volleyball teams are registering at the Parks & Recreation office for the winter season.
Go to the Parks & Recreation website for information about their adult activities - exercise, swim, dance, football, softball, and golf are all scheduled throughout the fall.
Call the Community Education office at 262-0417 about their yoga, karate, and sparring classes.
