    There's still time to take steps toward better
    health and explore new trails while earning a 2012 Walking Works
    hiking shield through Cleveland Metroparks Walking Works program.
    And, the beautiful fall color season is a great time to do it!



    With Cleveland Metroparks Walking Works program, participants
    hike at least eight of 13 designated trails on their own now
    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.



    Get those endorphins working as a Walking Works participant!
    Feel better while discovering the wonders of nature on 13 Cleveland
    Metroparks 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.



    Don't want to go it alone? Walkers who want to walk with others
    while learning about the natural features of the trails can join
    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 a step toward better health while enjoying fall colors on
    the Walking Works program of Cleveland Metroparks - part of your
    life, naturally.
