Cedar Park on the Move
This program is a community fitness initiative for all ages. It is geared for
beginners, but open to all fitness levels.
The goal is to provide a safe and friendly group walking activity each week
where participants increase their daily steps from their own personal baseline –
no matter what that is – by just 2,000. In addition, participants will receive
tips on decreasing 100 calories each day from their regular eating habits. These
two small changes add up to BIG results over time!
This community program is hosted by the Twin Lakes Family YMCA in partnership
with the Cedar Park Regional Medical Center, Williamson County & Cities Health
District, Williamson County Parks & Recreation, City of Cedar Park, Austin
Community College, Leander ISD, Lakeline Mall, and local health professionals.
