Start to Fitness

If you’ve resolved to begin the New Year with a more active, healthy lifestyle, it’s easy to get started at King County Library System Libraries! Throughout 2014, find ideas, inspiration and tips on simple ways to add more movement and healthy options to your life through the new adult series, Start to Fitness.

Here are a few upcoming programs that are close to my heart:

Introduction to Snowshoeing
Presented by Dan Nelson
Author of Snowshoe Routes, Washington
Over the last 20 years, snowshoeing has been the fastest growing outdoor winter sport. The ease with which beginners can become accomplished snowshoers helps explain this growth, as does the relatively low cost of entering the sport. Author and snowshoe review specialist Dan Nelson will describe the techniques, safety concerns and destinations needed to help get you into the winter wilderness safely.
