FOSTORIA — ProMedica Fostoria Community Hospital and the Geary Family YMCA are teaming up to offer Trail Trekkers, a free community walking program.
Walkers are invited to walk the Lakeview Walking Trails (reservoirs 2 and 3) every Wednesday from April 5 through Sept. 27 from 7-9 a.m. and 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Walking is easy, safe and inexpensive. It is aerobic, it burns calories and is an ideal fat-burning activity. It conditions the heart, improves muscle tone and strength, relieves stress, and can help with back pain, osteoporosis, respiratory problems, diabetes, arthritis, cardiac rehabilitation and a variety of other health problems.
Trail Trekkers will feature monthly raffle prizes and a grand prize at the end of the six-month program.
For more information about the Fostoria Trail Trekkers, call Kim Rickle, family/community coordinator, Geary Family YMCA, at 419-435-6608 or Becky Bouillon, community outreach coordinator, ProMedica Fostoria Community Hospital, at 419-436-6688.
