Walking Routes

We all need to take a break from time to time – why not use the opportunity to get some steps in? According to the American Heart Association, getting just 10 minutes of exercise at a time is considered beneficial and could lower your risk for a heart attack or stroke (see www.heart.org). Below you will find a couple of suggested walking routes for East Campus.

But what if the weather outside is not good for walking? No worries – we have designed several indoor walking routes so that you do not have to leave Hardin Hall. Choose a route as simple as the Flatlander if you do not like steps, or if you really want to raise your heart rate and challenge yourself, choose the Mt. St. Hardin route! You can do some of these routes several times to reach the 10 minute minimum exercise recommendation, if you wish. We also welcome your unique routes – just send us your route and we can post it to the site.

A map of the outdoor Campus Recreation East Campus walking routes, as well as descriptions of the indoor walking routes are also available at Maps and More. If you complete a route, please note that on the walking route tally sheet at Maps and More so that we can keep track of how often these routes are being utilized. Happy walking!
