The community of Bridgeland and the American Heart Association invite area residents to take the first step toward a healthier lifestyle May 16 during the Bridgeland Start! Walking Day.

Start! Walking is set for 10 a.m. to noon along the Cypress Creek Nature Trail in Bridgeland. Participants are asked to spend 30 minutes walking the trail and learning how easy it is to incorporate regular exercise into a daily routine. Heart-healthy refreshments will be provided and various vendors will be on hand to discuss healthy lifestyles. Also, the first 100 people will receive multi-function pedometers able to count steps, calculate the numbers of calories burned and determine how many miles have been walked. The event is a prelude to the annual Heart Walk, hosted by the American Heart Association to raise funds and awareness about heart disease and the positive benefits of exercise. The Heart Walk is slated for Nov. 7 at the Cy-Fair campus of Lone Star College.
