Popular Resolutions a lot easier this year! With the West Orange Trail running right through Winter Garden, you can just start by taking a brisk walk beginning at the iconic clock tower. Whether you head east or west, you’ll enjoy striding along through some of Florida’s natural surroundings. Wind your way past lightly woody areas, Orange groves and quiet neighborhoods. If you’d rather peddle your way down the trail, you can bring your bike to one of the nearby “stations,” securely park your car and head out on a 2-wheel adventure. Along the way, you’re bound to encounter other folks out and about on the trail with friendly faces offering encouragement. If you’d rather keep your workout indoors or need a little extra variety, the Roper YMCA Family Center is located off of Colonial Drive near West Orange High School. There is a wide range of very affordable memberships which give you and your family an abundance of ways to stay fit, and also provides access to other Central Florida YMCAs. Take a Yoga class, go through a weight training circuit, swim laps, or get your heart rate pumping on an Elliptical machine. Whatever your New Year resolutions might be for 2015, making them happen may take a little will power; but with the City of Winter Garden at your back, the possibilities are endless. Best of luck and Happy New Year wishes to all.
