Benefits of green spaces

Day 218: One thing I learned today…

Did you know that many adults lack getting in the recommended amount of physical activity? I am sure this comes to no surprise.

Something I learned today, those who visit a local green space one time per week are 4 times more likely to meet the physical activity guidelines.

How often do you get outdoors? Do you believe this impacts your physical activity levels?
