Christus St. John Hospital, Nassau Bay is partnering with ABNC on the event, making for a perfect fit for this month's topic. Personnel from the hospital will offer health screenings and set up fitness stations. What a great opportunity to get important information about your blood pressure, BMI (Body mass index, a measure of body fat based on height and weight), grip strength, stretching and flexibility. Dr. John Cottingham, Family Practice physician from League City will talk about the overall health benefits of being outside and another physician from M.D. Anderson will also speak on a similar topic.

Kids learn how to get a jump on fitness through activities that are so much fun they won't know they are exercising or learning. By discovering which animals hop, creep, jump or run they discover fun ways to get the exercise so many children are missing these days.  Other unique activities reinforce the goal.

Each month the nature center helps the community reconnect with nature in family-friendly ways. Be a part of the fun as ABNC brings you another exciting Second Saturday event in September. Admission to Second Saturday is free to members, $3 for non-member adults and $1 for children 4-12 and seniors 60 and older. For more information, phone 281-474-2551.
