Get Moving Outside

April is an excellent time to enjoy the warmer spring weather during both the day and evenings. Get moving on local trails, parks, and outdoor spaces. This is a cost-effective way to be physically active and enjoy the beautiful outdoors! Our bodies were designed to move. Do what’s natural. Get Moving Alabama!

National Walk at Lunch Day- April 27th (Birmingham) and April 20th (Montgomery)
