Garwood Mayors Wellness October 3K Walk
All Garwood residents, family and friends, are invited to join the Garwood Mayors Wellness Campaign 3K Walk. The event will be held on Saturday, October 23, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. at the beautiful Garwood Recreation Center at the end of Myrtle Ave. We ask all to wear sturdy sneakers or shoes with good support. Also, depending upon the weather, we ask walkers to wear loose and comfortable clothing. You are advised to bring water with you to prevent dehydration. The Walk will support the guidelines of the six-foot separation for social distancing and the wearing of masks.
While walking may just seem to be a necessary part of our day-to-day life, finding time for extra steps throughout your day actually has major health benefits. Walking will burn calories, reduce stress, improve blood sugar, boost energy and improve your state of mind and immune system. Walking can also help protect your joints, including knees and hips and can reduce pain from arthritis. Walking can help clear your head and help you think more clearly and creatively. The more you walk the more you could extend your life. Research has found that walking at an average pace compared to a slow pace, results in a 20% reduced risk of overall death.
Please join the group for a morning of friendship, relaxation and health benefits.
