Plattsburgh's Healthy Lung Trail

Geocaching and staying fit go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly, Scooby and Shaggy, Salt and Pepper, Romeo and Juliet... you get the picture! I love caches that not only present a challenging hide, but also are a challenge to the body. The Healthy Lung Trail in Plattsburgh is a series of ten exercise stations to keep your body feeling young and in shape. This cache will have you go to each station and gather info from the exercise instruction signs to get the final waypoint for the actual cache. The starting coordinates are the parking area for the Fit-Trail. I suppose you could cheat, not do the stations, and just gather the necessary info to complete the puzzle, but what's the fun in that!!

Taken from the Fit-Trail signs at the start of the trail; Fit-Trail is a balanced program of total fitness conditioning for all ages and sizes. It's fun, costs nothing, and provides the motivation to keep exercising. Everything you need is provided. There are exercise stations placed along the trail where you can learn about exercise and perform an exercise routine on the apparatus at each of the exercise stations. The exercises are fully illustrated, and you can progress at your own pace. The routine has been carefully designed to include exercises for: flexibility, cardiovascular conditioning, muscle strength, and muscle endurance. By jogging or briskly walking through the system and performing the exercise routine, you are getting a well-balanced conditioning program. An important element of the system is the TARGET HEART BEAT RANGE GUIDE located at the stations throughout the system. The TARGET HEART BEAT RANGE GUIDES provide valuable information about how you should pace yourself during any exercise or sports activity. Fit-Trail is a series of exercise stations located along a trail or in one central location. Each exercise station has an EXERCISE INSTRUCTION sign and EXERCISE APPARATUS. Do each exercise SLOWLY and CAREFULLY according to your physical condition and ability. Proceed from station to station and perform the exercises as illustrated. You can monitor your heartbeat by using the TARGET HEART BEAT RANGE GUIDES. TAKE YOUR 10 SECOND PULSE RATE BEFORE STARTING THROUGH THE SYSTEM. This rested pulse rate will be used during the cool down phase of the system. At the end of your workout, cool down until your pulse rate returns to its beginning level. All exercises are for both MEN and WOMEN. Be sure to consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.
