PREECEVILLE - The Preeceville Walking program has once again kicked off for another winter season of indoor walking. Participants are encouraged to join others at the Preeceville Legion Hall every Monday afternoon, Wednesday and Friday mornings. The program runs until the end of April.
“When you walk at a comfortably quick pace inside you get the same benefits as when you walk outdoors. There's good reason to get moving. Moderate-intensity physical activity, such as walking, reduces overall risk of death from all causes. Walking is one of the best exercises for all age groups,” stated Jackie Blotski, one of the organizers.
Walking indoors away from the elements is a good way to derive excellent weight loss, and maintain good health in a safe environment. You walk at your own pace, with a friend or by yourself and she is encouraging others to come out and join them in the fun indoor social interaction exercise program.
“Walking makes people feel better and they are more energetic and it is a good way to relax. Staying motivated is easy; walk with other people indoors during the winter,” she said.
There is a small fee of $20 for the entire walking season.
Regular walks improve your health and boost your spirits. Staying motivated is easy, walking with others indoors during winter is a great way to stay physically fit in a safe environment and the social aspect adds to the fun atmosphere.
