Celebrate Trails Day
Tomorrow is a day for you to celebrate all of the walking trails we have in this country.
Do you know a trail in your area? You might be able to walk the trail or bike the trail. The point is with the weather starting to become warmer on the East coast, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors around you.
The National Trails System Act of 1968 created trails in urban and rural settings to be enjoyed by people of all ages from every walk of life. You’ll find trails that have been created or trails off the beaten track to be explored.
Our country has scenic trails and historic trails with maps that you and your family and friends can enjoy. You can check out this website for information: https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nationaltrailssystem/index.htm
Additionally, the exercise you’ll get from either walking or biking is tremendous because both are great low impact ways to help your body.
Walking for 30 minutes will help your heart and lungs, lower your stress and alter your mood. Your brain function, focus and memory will benefit too.
Biking is another great way to enjoy the trails. If you bike it can help with executive functions, mental and cardiovascular health. In addition, biking helps with balance and gait and it can improve Type 2 Diabetes.
If you’re dealing with heart disease, arthritis or thinning bones you should check with your healthcare professional.
Private Home HealthCare hopes that if the weather is good in your area tomorrow that you take time to go on a walking or biking trail. The physical activity and being outside is sure to brighten your day.
