Currently, over half of all adults are overweight or obese in the U.S., and that number holds true for residents of Alton and throughout Illinois. Increasing physical activity levels is an important part of losing weight and in maintaining that weight loss. When you’re looking for activities to do alone, or with a friend or group, try to find activities that include opportunities to be active, such as a walking tour, hiking, swimming, etc. You can also check out the Alton Parks and Recreation for more info on local activities.
