Free ways to invest in your health
Taking care of your health does not have to be complicated or expensive. The City of Miami Gardens offers free community programs designed to help residents stay healthy, active, and connected, and there are a couple of great chances to take part this week. Best of all, they are completely free.
Talk with the Doc
First up is Talk with the Doc, a relaxed, free community event where residents can hear from a medical professional and get their health questions answered in a welcoming setting. It is a wonderful opportunity to learn, ask about concerns you may have been putting off, and take charge of your well-being. The upcoming session is set for Tuesday, September 22, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Scott Park (17710 NW 15th Court), the city's recently opened community park.
Get moving: Spinning with the Councilwoman
Prefer to break a sweat? Spinning with the Councilwoman is a free community fitness session, an energetic indoor cycling class open to residents, led in the company of a city council member. It is a fun, no-cost way to get a workout in and connect with neighbors. The next class is Thursday, September 24, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex (3000 NW 199th Street).
Why show up
It is easy to let health and community slip down the to-do list, but programs like these make both easy and free. Whether you come to learn from a doctor or to ride it out in a spin class, you will be investing in yourself and connecting with your community at the same time. That is a win-win worth a couple of hours of your week.
