From the Desk of Full Council Chair, Mandy Tyler
Greetings Mayor’s Fitness Council Members and Community Partners,
I hope each of you are healthy, safe and doing well. With the beautiful fall weather I hope you are finding opportunities to be active outdoors. I know I have enjoyed afternoon walks with my kids and our dog through the neighborhood. If you have not recently had the chance to visit the FitCitySA website, I encourage you to do so and review the updated information Bert Pickell provided on the SA Walks page. The website now provides helpful information on walking during COVID – so make sure to check out the information and be inspired to put on your walking shoes and enjoy the outdoors!

Please continue to follow the Mayor’s Fitness Council on all social media platforms and help us share the great work of our council and community partners.
Have a great week!
Mandy

Kate Rogers 50 classes since October 1st - my way of dealing with the pandemic and the most contentious in my lifetime - sweat it out when you can't let it out. #fitnessandfun | Rocio Guenther Loved exploring my city through a different lens. The weather was absolutely beautiful. This is hands down the coolest experience I’ve had in San Antonio. This is the first time in 30 years kayakers can paddle through the business district! | Elsa Guerra Williams I found this on my morning walk today. Just what I needed...just what we all need!! |
