Flowood Walk in the Park

Flowood Library is located next to Winner's Circle Park in Flowood, MS. The park is central to a number of community activities such as tennis courts, exercise stations, playgrounds, and picnic tables, and it has a 1/2 mile sidewalk encircling it. This park has a lot to offer and offers it for free. Not very many things in life are offered for free.

Flowood Library is scheduling a Walk in the Park on February 15, 2020 from 9:00-10:00 a.m. There will be an opportunity for participants to win one of three Walmart gift cards plus a free book from our book sale. Everyone will get some exercise whether a prize is won or not.

If you complete one lap around the 1/2 mile walking course (about 10 minutes), you will burn on average 50 calories. If you complete two laps for a total of 1 mile (about 20 minutes), you will burn 100 calories. If you go beyond 30 minutes, then you get into the fat burning zone. Reach 5 miles or 500 calories everyday for seven days and you will reach the equivalent of burning 3,500 calories or one pound in a week.

As I pursue a more in depth study into the field of calorie mathematics, we can walk as a group, make a few friends, and enjoy the day.
