subject: A Park For A Healthier You [print this page] Parks provide a great change of scenery and during Fall is the perfect time to visit one.
In the fall many people begin to slow down with their exercise; frankly because they see the weather changing toward the cold winter months. We tend to start slowing or shutting down when the cold season starts; heading into hibernation (so-to-speak). The fall season is really a time when you should 'Kick it up' a notch and put a 'spring' back into your step (no pun intended.... well, maybe a little). Right now is a beautiful time to be outside.
One excellent solution to keeping your exercise going through the fall months - heading into winter - is to go for brisk walks through the many wonderful parks. There are many, many parks to choose from. You won't even be able to see them all before it starts to snow.
Don't Wait! The park colors won't If you start now you can still enjoy some of the outdoor activities that are available at the parks. Keep a list of the parks you'd like to visit again. Take your camera with you too. You will want to capture the amazing colors as they begin to appear. An example of a park that you may want to visit is the Finch Arboretum with its diverse foliage. Here is a list of a few more:
Audubon - 3405 N. Milton Ave.
Austin Ravine - Sky Prairie Park to Cedar St.
Ben Burr Trail - Liberty Park to Underhill Park
Friendship - 631 E. Greta (Greta Ave. & Standard St.)
High Bridge - 136 S A St. (Riverside & A St.)
You can find many more parks around , so choose your favorites.
Now that you are up and at it, why not begin to put a plan together that will carry you through the winter. Personal training is a great way. Nobody just falls into good health at a Park; it takes a plan and action. With a Personal Trainer, you can setup a plan that can carry you through the winter months and on into spring. You need to get started right away!
