Washington Township Wants Residents To Move It

LONG VALLEY, NJ - The Washington Township Recreation is launching “Move it on Monday!” and they are asking for residents to come out and participate.

The program will be Monday’s starting on April 12 from 9 a.m.to 9:45 a.m. at Rock Spring Park Path, 35 East Springtown Road. Participants will be practicing social distancing and wearing masks.

According to organizers, walking, has been referred to as a “miracle drug” for its ability to lower risk for chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some cancers.

"Let’s be honest, there doesn’t seem to be a single health condition that it can’t help in some way," officials said in a release. "Unlike real drugs, walking has no side effects, is easily accessible, affordable, effective, and best of all you don’t need a prescription."

The Hold Harmless Agreement and Waiver form is due before the start of class. For more information call the Recreation office at 908.876.5941 or email at recreation@wtmorris.net before April 5.
