Walking Club Meets At Livingston Mall, Will Continue Until March

LIVINGSTON, NJ -- The Livingston Health Department will offer a free “Walking Club” this winter for residents who want to stay fit despite the cold weather.

According to a municipal news release, the club kicked off Feb. 14 and will run until March 27. It meets from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Fridays, and is free and open to adults over the age of 18.

Participants will meet inside the Livingston Mall in front of the entrance to Lord + Taylor on the second floor and walk together for one hour around the second level of the mall. Each circular lap around the second level is about 0.25 miles, and participants can walk at their own pace.

The Livingston Health Department stated:

“Walking is a great way to get some exercise and offers many health benefits: it can help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce joint pain, improve balance, lower the risk of high blood pressure and more.”

Pre-registration for the Walking Club is required. For questions or to pre- register, please contact Jessica, Health Educator, at 973-535-7961, ext. 227 or jekelly@livingstonnj.org.
