Get Moving in May! National Physical Fitness and Sports Month

May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month—the perfect time to find an activity that you enjoy doing and get moving! Did you know that it is recommended that adults need at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity each week? There are so many benefits to getting regular physical activity including lowering your risk of heart disease and some cancers, helping to keep diabetes and high blood pressure under control and boosting your mood and improving your sleep. If you’re not sure where to begin with a fitness routine perhaps one of our personal trainers can help you get started. We offer complimentary personal training consultations at both Chinn Aquatics & Fitness Center and Dale City Recreation Center.

For kids, sports can be a great way for kids to improve fitness and develop social skills. You can celebrate National Physical Fitness and Sports Month with your kids by encouraging them to find their own way to get moving in May.

We’ve got lots of fitness and sports activities coming up this summer so there are plenty of options to choose from to get active.

Aqua Zumba – Adapted Program

If you have a child with a disability we have adapted programs such as our Aqua Zumba class. Our certified Aqua Zumba instructor will lead participants through a fun but challenging, water-based, body-toning workout. Each participant can move at their own pace while following along with the instructor and the music. This program is modified for individuals with special needs.
