As many know, I am a huge health guru. I love being active and thoroughly enjoy working out.
I stumbled upon something interesting while in Delaware visiting family recently.
My family and I went to one of the local parks there.
The park had a fitness assessment course called Health Trail. The courses are based off of city or county demographics including age and health status of the area.
I just had to try it out.
There were 10 parts to it. It included leg stretches, jumping jacks, spring-ups, flat footed jumps, high jumps, isometric squats, sit-ups, vault bar jumps, step-ups and knee raises.
The park directions suggested the routine be followed 3-4 times a week to increase vitality and good health.
Each step had 3 levels to choose from - beginner, intermediate and expert.
I chose the beginner level. I was proud of myself after I completed the challenge.
My entire family participated, and it was amazing.
Lexington County should include this type of course in our parks.
I would participate every day.
