Then? will soon bo a low mure options in Rappahannock for those wanting to got fit.
In the next few months, six new exercise stations will dot t he Rappahannock County Park outside Washington.
Sixteen-year-old Tyler Burdick, of Flint Hill, will install the stations as part of his Eagle Scout project. Each one will focus on a different muscle group.
There will be one for knee lifts and toe raises, one for situps, one for pull-ups, one for push-ups, one for hand walks and body dips, and one for reverse pull-ups.
“I thought of this because our county lacks lots of fitness options.” Burdick said.
He said that the fitness center at Rappahannock County High School provides one option for county residents.
“I thought it would be good to have an additional exercise area at the park,” he said.
And the stations might bring more trnffic to the park, which also has tennis, basketball, trails and a play fort for kids.
“I hope that the fitness trail will encourage people to come to the park more often." Burdick said.
Burdick received the wood and metal stations last week and plans to set them up in the next two months.
The cost for the stations was covered by a $2,500 grant from Del Monte. Burdick beat out hundreds of other applicants and was one of ten youngsters to receive the “Do Something Good for You” grants, which were given to kids encouraging healthier lifestyles.
