Goodbye winter blues: free walks get Frankfurt going!

Cologne is all about health and exercise! An exciting project called “Fit in Frankfurt” has started in the neighboring city of Frankfurt, which is intended to motivate people to stay active, especially in the cold season. Weekly, free walks are planned in various parts of the city. This initiative not only offers an opportunity to escape the winter gloom, but also promotes community among participants.

The project involves all citizens, regardless of age or living situation. The walks are located in Bockenheim, Eckenheim, Unterliederbach, the city center, Nordweststadt and Riederwald and are accompanied by trained “Fit in Frankfurt” buddies. These guards not only ensure safety, but also a good feeling and social interaction. According to information from T Online The focus is on the well-being of the participants and avoiding loneliness, which is particularly important during the dark season.

Walks are an excellent way to get some exercise in the fresh air. But how much exercise is actually healthy? Experts recommend doing at least 10 minutes of moderately strenuous endurance activity at a time to increase your breathing and heart rate. These activities can include, for example, cycling, jogging or even a simple workout in the park. The German Society for Sports Medicine and Prevention shapes these recommendations, especially to keep the body fit and prevent health risks healthy.bund.de reported.

With “Fit in Frankfurt” there is the perfect opportunity to do this in community and at the same time reduce the risk of numerous diseases. Who knows better about the benefits of exercise than the WHO? Their new guide for sports clubs, presented at a conference in Lithuania, highlights the importance of active participants for their health. Up to 11.5 million new cases of noncommunicable diseases in the EU could be avoided if everyone's physical activity increases. This shows once again how valuable regular exercise is, not only for the individual, but also for society as a whole WHO Europe highlights.
