Hello Everyone,
Join us on Saturday mornings this spring for a brisk walk from the National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland, across the Wilson Bridge towards Mt. Vernon, Virginia. The walking trail borders the Potomac River and offer spectacular views and historical points of interest from the National Harbor to the Belle Haven area of Virginia.
Supplement your current workout program and shape up with us. Walking is a great way to lose a few pounds and improve your health if you suffer from hypertension, elevated cholesterol levels or diabetes. Bring a friend, family member or co-worker along to enjoy the sites, walk away the pounds and destress. All fitness levels are welcome and you can walk or run at your own pace.
The Celbod Fit Club walks April thru September. The Spring walk begins on April 17th with a distance of 4 miles. By adding 2 miles each week, we will reach our September goal of 26 miles to prepare you for your first half-marathon, full-marathon or distance race!
Remember - Everyone walks at their own pace and fitness level. If you walk a little slower or cannot do the entire walk, feel free to turn around at any point and walk a shorter distance . Just walk as far as you can!
