Free outdoor fitness classes return to Cobb this spring
Remember that New Year’s resolution? You know, the one to “do better this time” and “lose a few pounds” this year.
We're sure you're doing great, but just in case you needed some help, the city of Kennesaw has your back.
The city announced Monday that it is offering nine free outdoor workouts ranging from tai chi to a “boot camp” session.
Join the workouts at Swift-Cantrell Park, 3140 Old 41 Highway NW, which is the city's largest park. Soon it'll have a splash pad, too.
This is the fifth year Kennesaw has offered the outdoor workout series “designed to encourage physical activity and healthy lifestyles.”
Workouts will be near the main plaza and last about an hour. All ages are welcomed, but children must be accompanied by an adult.
There’s no registration required, but be sure to have on comfortable clothing, athletic shoes and sunscreen. And bring an exercise mat, towel, water bottle or sports drink to stay hydrated.
Here’s the schedule:
- 9 a.m Saturday, April 29: tai chi with Sachi Hirata
