Walk This Way: Why, Where, and How to Walk More at Cornerstone Homes
Frankie Valli once told us to “walk like a man,” and at Cornerstone Homes, we say “walking keeps the 'active”'in being an active adult!" In all of our vibrant, amenity-rich 55+ communities across Virginia, it’s so easy to step outside and go for an invigorating walk. With the sun out and the flowers in bloom, there’s no better time to put a little pep in your step…
Whether you enjoy a leisurely stroll along the tree-lined sidewalks while catching up with friends or love to break a sweat by yourself, there are many options in our communities, from walking trails through the woods, around a lake, or sidewalks throughout the community. All our communities are located near parks or schools with other options for walking spots to let you get the exercise you need on your own time. Just like the rest of our luxurious amenities, our walking spots are built just for you, so how and when you want to use them is completely up to you!
Why
Considering how much fun walking can be, the physical and mental health benefits are almost hard to believe… Of course, walking burns calories, which can help you maintain a healthy weight, but this activity also strengthens your heart, increases creative thinking, lowers blood sugar, eases joint pain, boosts your immune system, and elevates your happiness, among so many other things. When both your mind and body feel great, this greatness extends to every part of your life and makes your days even more extraordinary than before.
Where
In all of our Cornerstone communities, there are designated walking trails and sidewalks for every homeowner to enjoy. Scenic and accessible, these spots are always just a few steps away from your home. Why not start off your morning with a refreshing (and beautiful!) walk while the sun rises? There’s nothing better than coming home feeling energized and ready to take on the day. Not to mention, if you’re ever feeling adventurous, all of our nearby VA towns have incredible hiking spots for you to explore solo or with friends!
How
At Cornerstone Homes, life is exactly what you make it. If you love walking with a group and want to meet new people, join in the fun with your community walking club. If one has not been started yet, why not create one? There are so many neighbors who share similar interests and passions, and would love to join you in your quest to get exercise and have fun while doing it. At Cornerstone Homes, you have every chance to start the newest club in your community and feel empowered to lead. Being in charge of your very own club will also encourage your neighbors to get some exercise, and of course, give you the chance to spend more time with your friends.
Now that the weather’s finally warm, stop by any of our Cornerstone Homes’ communities and you will see homeowners walking the sidewalks and trails. Stop and introduce yourself and learn first hand how life can be for you living in one of our popular communities. You will probably ask your self, “What am I waiting for!” You can enjoy walking with new friends just outside of your beautiful new home with timely and lasting features, have options for a variety of social, fun activities at your clubhouse, and enjoy a carefree lifestyle. It’s time to take charge and enjoy life! At our Cornerstone Homes communities, you get to build your best life ever, step by step.
