Walking Wisdom at Your Gainesville, Florida Apartment Community

Walking is an extremely popular method of exercise for people of all ages. One of the reasons that walking is so well-liked is the fact that it doesn’t require a tremendous amount of skill or endurance. Walking also comes free-of-charge, with no gym membership or special equipment required.

For those Gainesville, Florida apartment residents who want to make walking a part of their exercise routine, here are some tips to get you started:

• Gently stretch your leg muscles before venturing out.
• Wear comfortable shoes and clothes.
• Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your walk.
• Go in the early morning or early evening, not during the heat of the day or when it’s dark outside.
• Protect yourself from the sun’s rays by wearing sunscreen and a hat.
• Walk with a partner or group for enhanced conversation and safety.
• Maintain even strides without over-extending or jolting your joints.
• Watch every step. Avoid twisting your ankle or tripping on rocks, twigs, holes, etc.

Shaded by lush trees, Bellamay Grand Apartment Homes is a great place for our residents to take a walk. If you want to add a little boost to your exercise routine, our community also has a well-equipped fitness center and an indoor basketball court.
