Active Southern West Virginia seeks to improve the health of southern West Virginians by increasing opportunities for physical activity.
Whether your work life has changed or not, most all of us are under additional stress these days. Often, stepping away for a bit is the best way to refocus.
This spring, Active SWV’s Regional Fun Run Event is going virtual! The event has a youth 1-mile dash option as well as a community 5k walk/run, and is open to and adult or child in the community who would like to participate.
Hiking to connect with nature can be a great way to stay active and physically distance yourself during these trying times.
We know physical activity is good for us. We’ve seen the studies showing physical activity is a natural mood booster. We know it can prevent heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic illness. So, why aren’t we more physically active?
Active Southern West Virginia is committed to the health and well-being of southern West Virginians. At this time we are limited in in-person meeting locations for group physical activity.
As we head into March we can experience some tough winter blues. Here are some tips for helping us out of those doldrums.
Did you know Active Southern West Virginia has a whole program dedicated to bringing wellness to workplaces? Yep, and at no cost. Active SWV offers training, resources, and technical assistance to help create your workplace wellness program.
At the beginning and end of each Kids Run Club season, youth participants fill out a pre and post survey answering questions about their activity levels, daily screen time, and confidence in their ability to be physically active.
Each month of 2020, Active Southern West Virginia offers a new challenge focusing on a different area of physical activity.
