Fitness Calendar –
Take the Challenge!
Over the past
five years, thousands of people have participated in Fit City
programs, and the movement toward a healthier city continues today!
In 2010, the Fit City council and Mayor Costas are shifting the focus to six
larger events to promote the benefits of improving your lifestyle to be a
healthier you. We encourage you to do more today than you did yesterday. Two
examples of this are parking your car further away from the door to get some
extra walking in that day or reading a good book rather than watching the
television at night.
Fit City is an initiative between the City of Valparaiso, the Mayor's Office,
and the Valparaiso Department of Parks and Recreation. See below for more information on
Fit City programs or visit valparaisoparks.org
