Play Healthy Lynchburg

Bill 1

Lynchburg VA MayorJoan Foster announced a new, year long initiative called

Live Healthy Lynchburg

The city created a website to help support this initiative, the site has lots of great information such as what to eat, where to go, and things to do outside.

Did you know that 30 minutes of exercise dramatically improves the health of an adult?

Or that children need 60 minutes of exercise per day to help be healthy?

Where to start? Take a look at the website, there is so much great information. Such as what are healthy proportions, where to buy fresh food, places to go for fun and exercise. Did you know that Lynchburg is rated as one of the best places to love for outdoor life. There are so many things to such as the blackwater creek trails for walking/bike riding, we have mountains, swimming… all sorts of activities.

Furthermore, Mayor Foster challenged the people of Lynchburg to lose 12 tons!

Register on the site and track their weight loss and distance traveled during exercise. This will help everyone know how much weight Lynchburg is losing!
