"Walking keeps me in good shape, especially my heart. When I feel like I'm getting worried about something I go out for a walk and come back and feel happy."
— Betty J.

"Physical activity makes me tired, but the next day I feel like Tony the Tiger and I can breathe better. When I'm out walking in the neighborhood, I see the shade trees and realize the birds are singing, even on Hardy Drive!"
— Harold F.

About Local Motion

Local Motion is our community's campaign to inspire residents of all ages, backgrounds and fitness levels to be physically active in Charlottesville and Albemarle, Virginia.
