Spring has sprung and it’s time to get back ­outside. Regular ­physical ­activity is one of the most ­important things you can do for your health. ­According to the CDC, ­ being physically active can improve brain health, help ­manage weight, reduce the risk of disease, strengthen bones and muscles, and improve your ­ability to do everyday activities.

And here’s the great news: you don’t have to exercise alone.

Right here in Newark there are clubs that will support you in becoming and remaining active.

Challenge yourself to meet daily or weekly physical activity goals for 30 to 60 minutes a day to get your heart pumping and body moving.


Major Taylor Cycling Club
Bike riding with a group is a great way to meet your ­fitness goals while exercising with others. The Major Taylor Cycling Club organizes short rides throughout Newark. Longer rides such as day tours and multi-day excursions are also available for seasoned cyclists.
