\"live-well-committee-at-oneida-opening\"<\/a>The Live Well Committee of the Rural Health Council of Madison County, (www.mcruralhealthcouncil.org) opened a Monday Mile in Oneida on National Rural\u00a0Health Day, Thursday, Nov. 17, 2016.<\/p>\n

The newest Monday Mile starts on the Rail Trail on Seneca Street, next to the Oneida\u00a0High School. The Live Well Committee met to open the Monday Mile and had a \u201cwalking\u00a0meeting\u201d. Luke Griff, the director of the Oneida City Recreation program educated\u00a0committee members about the Rail Trail in the City of Oneida.<\/p>\n

What is a \u201cMonday Mile\u201d? It\u2019s a fun way to get in your daily exercise and helps jump\u00a0start your week in a healthy way. Research has shown that many people vow to start a\u00a0healthier lifestyle \u201con Monday\u201d. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to walk a mile and if done each day will meet recommended guidelines of active exercise for 150\u00a0minutes each week.<\/p>\n

The Live Well Committee members have located Monday Miles in several areas of the\u00a0county, including Stockbridge, Canastota, Morrisville. There will be additional Monday\u00a0Miles in Brookfield, Peterboro and DeRuyter in the near future. Locating Monday Miles in\u00a0areas that do not typically have walking paths or trails has improved the opportunity for\u00a0people to begin walking in safe and accessible areas.

Committee members have been essential in locating Monday Miles, attending town and\u00a0village meetings to introduce the idea, in some cases helping with the installation of\u00a0signs and promoting the Miles.<\/p>\n

The development of Monday Miles in Madison County have been assisted by Katie Wood\u00a0and Leah Moser, with the SU Lerner Center. Monday Miles are part of the Healthy\u00a0Monday programs: www.healthymonday.syr.edu\/move-it- monday\/. In the past,\u00a0Monday Miles have been developed in urban areas. Madison County has been a pilot\u00a0program for the development of Monday Miles in rural areas and a Rural Monday Mile\u00a0Toolkit has been written for those who would like to locate a Monday Mile in their rural\u00a0area.<\/p>\n

Walking tends to be the easiest exercise for people to stick with and research found that\u00a0walking significantly cuts the risk of diabetes, dementia, depression, colon cancer,\u00a0cardiovascular disease, anxiety and high blood pressure by 40% or more.<\/p>\n
