February 2009 - February is for Walking

This month, continue what we started talking about in January; walking. Get moving! Walking is good for your health, budget, and the environment. Every step that is walked can minimize the emissions that are generated from a driven vehicle. Walking conserves energy too. Do you need a safe place to walk? Visit the Parks and Recreation Department’s web site for a “prescription trail.” The Albuquerque Prescription Trails Pilot Program’s web site at www.cabq.gov/parks/prescription-trails will help you find a trail that fits your lifestyle and ability. The map highlights 34 parks and trails, including path mileage, grade, and number of steps. The site also provides information about the path’s surface material and if the park has handicap access.
