Naturally Fit
Series with DCP
Darke County Parks is beginning a new series of fitness programs called
Naturally Fit occurring the fourth Monday of every month. Everyone
wants to lead healthier lives and spend more time outdoors. However,
workout machines aren’t always environmentally friendly, and gyms
aren’t very exciting. Besides, sometimes life just gets in the way! Use
these programs as an “excuse” to schedule time outside and get moving.
Each of these programs focuses more on fitness than nature, with
everyone moving at their own pace, whether that’s one loop or ten. The
March program will take place March 28th at 6:30pm at Coppess Nature
Sanctuary on Young Rd. a half mile south of State Route 47 west of
Ansonia. This park has a ¾ mile loop of well leveled trail in an
oak-hickory forest. Meet at the park, and bring a water bottle.

Dentistry found that outdoor exercise was associated with increased
energy, as well as decreased confusion, anger, depression, and tension,
when compared with exercising indoors.
