Exercising Outside

Thank goodness the weather is warming up and spring-time is here!!! I recently got back out to use the walking path which goes all the way around our Carroll Family Center Y. It is a beautiful path which many people use. One time around the path equals about a half-mile. Usually when I walk, it is with a small group of people and we are walking fast to get our cardio workout in, but also talking and sharing and before you know, we have done several miles! Using the path just brings in another dimension of exercise, but also allows us to be outside.

So many people use the path. I have seen people go in for their classes and then meet up with some friends and they all walk to catch-up on things. We have many runners using it and even the local high school has kids that run from their school over to the path and then back to the school. It’s nice to see that the Carroll Family Center Y not only offers all the typical fitness/cardio equipment and classes, but also gives us this beautiful outdoor path to use.
