Playtime is part of the lifestyle, and the outdoors is key to the fun. Villagers have manifold chances
to get fit and best of all - enjoy fitness. Because shouldn't
healthy living be enjoyable?
Matt Armstrong, recreation manager of facilities and personnel, said fitness stations are a hit in The Villages and a growing trend everywhere. They incorporate the great outdoors and
present yet another opportunity for active Villagers to get a shot
of sunshine and exercise, simultaneously.
"Residents are using the stations daily," Armstrong said.
Mornings are a good time to walk the trails and hop on a
machine to vary the workout.
"We know people like to take their exercise outside in The
Villages, and the exercise stations are user-friendly for all ages
and fitness levels," Armstrong said.
The machines are simple to use, offering a self-paced workout through body-weight movements.
"In addition to classes, fitness clubs, walking trails and so
many sports, the equipment adds to the pool of options," Armstrong said.
Equipment is available at multiple locations: Rohan Recreation
Center, Paradise Park and Spanish Moss Recreation Area.
"We're adding stations at Springdale fitness trail and Lake Miona fitness trail as well," Armstrong said. "We're currently looking at the locations and mapping things out for 2017-2018."
