GREENVILLE — Darke County Parks is hosting a series of fitness programs called Naturally Fit occurring the fourth Monday of every month.

“Everyone wants to lead healthier lives and spend more time outdoors. However, workout machines aren’t always environmentally friendly, and gyms aren’t very exciting. Besides, sometimes life just gets in the way! Use these programs as an excuse to schedule time outside and get moving,” said organizers.

Each of these programs focuses more on fitness than nature, with everyone moving at their own pace, whether that’s one loop or 10. The first program took place September 26 at at Worth Family Nature Preserve which has 1.2 miles of loop trail through woods and along Greenville Creek. The park is located on Spring Hill Road 2.5 miles north of State Route 502 West.

“Meet there, and don’t forget to bring a water bottle,” said organizers.
