Wellington Residents Get Active
This March, Wellington is participating in the fifth annual “Let’s Move: Commit to Change Physical Activity Challenge.” The challenge is a county-wide initiative focused on physical activity, nutrition, and health. It will take place from March 1 to March 31, 2017 and asks participants to log at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.
Wellington has created its own team, “Well Wellington,” and urges residents, Village employees, local after school programs, and sports teams to join and log their minutes. Residents may register by visiting LetsMovePBC.org. Participation is FREE and open to all.
On Saturday, March 4, 2017 Wellington, in partnership with Ultima Fitness and the Palm Healthcare Foundation, will kickoff the campaign at the Wellington Amphitheater during the Wellington Green Market. Starting at 9am, instructors from Ultima Fitness will be leading active demonstrations including Zumba, Taekwondo, and more. The Diabetes Coalition of Palm Beach County will also be on site providing free diabetes screeings. In addition, there will be information on how to stay active and healthy throughout the year including materials on Wellington’s vast selection of recreational programming.
To continue the momentum and assist in keeping residents active, Ultima Fitness will be offering complimentary activities at their facility throughout the month of March. You can visit their website http://ultimafitness.com/letsmoveschedule2017 for more information.
