Physical activity need not be vigorous
to improve health, according to the latest Surgeon General's Report.
Physical activity at a moderate level improves your mood and sense
of well-being. It gives you more energy and helps control weight.
It improves balance and bone and muscle strength, preventing falls
and fractures. It helps you live longer independently.
There are lots of ways to be physically active in Skagit County.
The list below is packed with information to help you find out
what is available in your area. To update or add a listing call
