Ogden's Healthy Initiative

Woohoo!!! We are almost there. The Mayor's Walk is less than 2 weeks away. All the hard work you have been doing will pay off.

This week, we are focusing on the physical activity of Ogden City's  Healthy Initiative. The CDC recommends that adults get 2-1/2 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week. This would be brisk walking, running, biking, etc. They also recommend you do muscle strengthening activities two or more days per week. Use your own body for weight bearing activities such as sits ups, push ups or squats. You can read more here: http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/everyone/guidelines/index.html

There are many different activities you can do to be physically active. There are hiking trails all over Ogden, many are accessible by foot or bike. Others cater to skaters. Try out a swimming pool or visit the Ogden City Recreation Park, For more information on Ogden-area resources for health, nutrition and physical activities, please see the Weber-Morgan Healthy Living Resource Guide.

Don't forget to register for the Mayor's Walk. On May 15, the night before the Ogden Marathon, you can cross the finish line with Ogden Mayor Mike Caldwell and get a T-shirt and commemorative participation coin from the inaugural walk.
