New Free Outdoor Fitness Program in Evansville

A new free outdoor fitness program called 'Fitness in the Park' is set to kick off in Evansville next Saturday.

It's part of Mayor Lloyd Winnecke's initiative to bring more awareness to healthy lifestyles.

Fitness in the Park is being organized by Energize Evansville, a committee through the Mayor's Office made up primarily of local fitness professionals.

"Fitness in the Park is going to be a monthly occurrence where there are going to be different events going on throughout the City where people can come out and either walk or run or ride bikes or do yoga or boot camp workouts. There's just a lot of different possibilities. We want people to understand they don't just have to go into a gym and lift weights for hours to get exercise," said Tony Maslan, chairman of the group Energize Evansville that is organizing the program.

Maslan says the first event will begin at 9am, Saturday May 19th, on the Evansville State Hospital grounds.

It will begin with the 3rd Annual Push-Ups for Charity event which raises money through donations for wounded veterans and their families.

Afterwards, at 9:45am and 10:45am people can participate in yoga, Zumba, a boot camp workout or piloxing (a combination of pilates and boxing) at no charge.

Maslan says different supplement stores and gyms will also have representatives on hand.

"One of the things that we're trying to teach people is that you don't have to have a gym membership, you don't have to have a lot of equipment, you don't have to spend a lot of monthly to be healthy. So by coming out to Fitness in the Park you can learn a lot of different things that you can do to improve your health and hopefully take some of the things that you learn and carry on throughout the week and the month until the next event," said Maslan.

Next month's Fitness in the Park event is scheduled for June 23.
