               It's
    not too late to take steps towards better health and explore new
    trails while earning your 2010 Walking Works Hiking Shield with
    Cleveland Metroparks Walking Works Program.




                   
    Research shows walking leads to better health.Walking three to five
    times a week helps improve cardiovascular fitness, increases
    circulation, helps control weight, blood and cholesterol levels,
    and improve an overall feeling of well-being. Research also shows
    that increasing the number of calories burned by 2,000 a week can
    lead to a longer life. Now Walking Works participants can feel
    better while discovering the wonders of nature.




                   
    With Cleveland Metroparks Walking Works program, participants hike
    at least eight of 13 designated trails on their own through
    October  -  it's fun and easy.  After completing
    each walk, date the Walking Works form. Complete eight walks and
    return the form to Cleveland Metroparks to receive this year's
    Walking Works walking stick shield. Walkers can display the shield
    on their own walking sticks or purchase a Walking Works walking
    stick at any of the EarthWords Nature Shops.
             



        
               This
    year, take an easy hike in Bedford, Big Creek, Bradley Woods,
    GarfieldPark, Rocky River and South Chagrin reservations. Moderate
    walkers can hit the trails in Euclid Creek, Hinckley, Mill Stream
    Run, North Chagrin, Ohio & Erie Canal and Rocky River
    reservations. Those looking for a difficult hike will appreciate
    the challenging Brecksville Reservation hike.




                   
    Want to walk with others while learning about the natural features
    of the trails? Naturalist-led hikes along some of the designated
    trails are available through October. Look for naturalist-led
    Walking Works walks in the Emerald Necklace monthly
    publication or online at clevelandmetroparks.com.
