Take the summer challenge!

The Halton Hills Eight-Week Summer Active Living Challenge is on-- have you signed up yet? It's never too late to join the Town's Challenge and it's open to all residents! Registration is simple and offers many benefits. Just visit www.haltonhills.ca and click on the Active Living Logo to access tools (like the Activity Log designed to keep track of your weekly fitness minutes) and information on the benefits of incorporating fitness activities into your lifestyle. Benefits include lowering your heart rate when you are at rest, improving your cholesterol level, lowering your blood pressure and reducing body fat. Regular exercise also can help you mentally by making it easier to manage stress, leaving you more energetic, making daily chores easier to accomplish, helping you sleep better and improving your self-image. The Summer Challenge is the Town's local contribution to a province wide initiative to generate an increase of 10% of Ontario participating in fitness activities.
