Physical activity has many benefits for your health. Regular physical activity helps improve your overall health and reduces your risk for many chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease. Make physical activity a part of your everyday life. Walk to work or to the store, go for a bike ride, play catch or tag, or dance around the living room. 

There are many opportunities in Sioux County that can help you lead an active life: Trails, Rec Centers, Swimming Pools, Parks, Athletic Fields, Camping, & other activities.

There are also opportunities for physical activity if you have some limitations.  For example, there are online exercise videos for folks with arthritis, older adults strength training classes, and an arthritis aquatics program at the Sioux Center Swimming Pool.

Are you interested in making your community an easier place to walk or bike? 

A walkability or bikability checklist is a great way to get started.

Using the bikability or walkability tool, assess your community and take one of the actions suggested in the toolkit.
