    There is still plenty of time to take steps towards better
    health and explore new trails while earning a 2012 Walking Works
    hiking shield through Cleveland Metroparks Walking Works
    program.



    With Cleveland Metroparks Walking Works program,
    participants hike at least eight of 13 designated trails on their
    own June through October. After completing each walk, date the
    Walking Works form. After completing at least eight walks, 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 stick at any of the
    EarthWords Nature Shops.



    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.



    Walking Works participants can feel better while
    discovering the wonders of nature on 13 natural surface trails and
    all purpose trails.



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



    For walkers who 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. Look for naturalist-led
    Walking Works walks in the Emerald Necklace monthly
    publication or online at clevelandmetroparks.com.



    For a list of the designated hikes and directions, and to
    download the Walking Works form visit "http://www.clevelandmetroparks.com">clevelandmetroparks.com.



    Walking Works forms are also available at the three
    EarthWords Nature Shop locations at CanalWay Center, North Chagrin
    Nature Center and Rocky River Nature Center.



    For more information, call 216-635-3204.



    Take some relaxing walks under the shady canopies with the
    Walking Works program of Cleveland Metroparks - part of
    your life, naturally.
