Recreation Department
hosts Walking Club
The Tribal Recreation Department is hosting a Walking Club, which is a
competitive and social activity to track steps and miles walked per day.
The club focuses on low-level impact exercise for beginners with the goal
of transitioning Walking Club participants into other fitness activities of-
fered by the Recreation Department.
Participation levels vary from individual and team steps, as well as
individual and team miles. Teams consist of three individuals.
The Recreation Department encourages people to sign up since it will
be an ongoing activity. Pedometers are available to new participants one
week after they sign up. At the end of each month, prizes are awarded. In
addition, Weighted Wednesdays set appropriate weight goals for people
to reach a target weight by the end of the month. Participants are encour-
aged to stop by the Youth Education Building to track their weight and
body mass index.
Weight is taken privately with only a recreation assistant present and all
information is confidential. Like the Walking Club, prizes will be awarded
each month to those with the most amount of fat percentage lost.
For more information or to sign up, contact Recreation Assistant Kendra
Steele at 503-879-1921 or Kendra.steele@grandronde.org. n
