Winter Fitness in Bear River

Winter in Bear River is a great time to enjoy physical activity. Here are some ideas for you that won’t cost any money, but will help you to stay in shape:

Check out the complete schedule for the Bear River Winter Carnival.  The committee is always eager for volunteers and helpers. All ages are welcome. Contact Sue Comeau allwaysgardening@ns.sympatico.ca

If dance fitness interests you,  join Julie Palmer every Saturday until March at the Oakdene Centre @ 10:30 am for a FREE hour of Yoga Dance Fitness. This guided movement experience combines dance, yoga and aerobics with inspiring music.

No experience is necessary. Bring a yoga mat, water bottle and wear loose clothes. Running shoes or bare feet. This is FREE thanks to Annapolis County Recreation. Children are welcome! Led by Certified Yoga-Dance Instructor Julie Palmer 902-467-3151  http://yoga4all.ca

Finally, sign up for the Community Winter Challenge. Available to residents on BOTH sides of the Bear River.

For more ideas, check our BEAR RIVER EVENTS page. The Annapolis County Recreation facebook page is another great resource as well as the Bear River Arts and Action website.

Above all, keep healthy. Keep moving!
