Many may think it’s something they could use a little more of in their life: exercise. Staying physically active can improve both your physical health and your mental health.
To encourage Richmond residents to stay active, the city is hosting Move for Health week starting today, and going until Friday May 18.
Richmondites can try one of 50 free or low cost activities including hoopla yoga, fitness workshops and parent and toddler playtime sessions.
“We all need to keep active to ensure we have a long and health life,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie in a press release.
“I invite everyone to join with me in trying some of the many activities offered locally for Move for Health Week and then to continue being active for an ongoing healthy lifestyle.”
For more information about the activities available during the week, residents can visit an information tent at the Public Works Open House on Saturday, May 12 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
