It looks to me like the area is conducive to bike riding, walking, going to the gym etc. with so much availability. I am thinking I would be more active if I moved there. When we visited we did do a lot more but we were visiting. So I am curious if living in the Villages has made a big impact on your physical lifestyle?

If you haven't already done so, take an online peek at: thevillagesdailysun.com
an online version of our newspaper. Each Thursday there is a pullout of Recreational News- a listing of all the activities available for residents…. you can view the current rec news online anytime.
It will blow you away…. ever tried Dragon Boat Racing?
We are much more active in pleasant physical pursuits here- as others have mentioned, one almost has to plan for 'down time'!
In addition to recreational activities, there are lots of local volunteer opportunities, many of which will afford both physical exertion as well as mental/spiritual exercise.
My husband is in the Color Guard (Marine Corps League) We volunteer at a soup kitchen - for a small example.
We are out in the fresh air daily! That, in and of itself is healthy
I think we are in better physical shape than ever, because we have so much to participate in. I take water aerobics and jazz dance, hubby plays golf and paddle tennis…. so far!
We were mentally and physically active prior to moving here, but it wasn't as enjoyable. Here, we grin at each other and seize the day!
