清晨，背着轻便的背囊，悠闲步走向武吉巴督自然公园，寻找尘嚣中的一片宁静。暖身一番，我们走进幽静的大自然里，让树荫把我们暂时埋藏。这一个星期六，约15位爱好大自然的朋友一起迈开脚步，与大自然结下不解之缘。
没有比赛终点，没有规则约定，只需完成步行任务。活动的主题很简单，那就是往大自然健走！
风吹凉人们心中的温暖，大伙儿谈笑风生，大口呼吸新鲜空气。站在高岗上，一边远眺迷人风景，一边聆听鸟儿的啼唱，这何尝不是一趟有趣的观鸟之旅啊!
武吉巴督自然公园里，有高耸入云的百年古树，有开拓宽广的石铺山路。幸运的您可能会看见跳跃的小松鼠，也许草丛中跳出一只齿尾四脚蛇吓您一跳，也许几只觅食的小猴向您眨眼。哟，这就是大自然给你的惊喜。走尽泊油马路的后端，您眼前一亮，那像小桂林一样的山水，荡漾的水波，鱼儿自由自在的成群结队，远处游来了一只水龟，你不禁住足欣赏赞叹，要是手中有相机，多想捕捉这一刹那。
园里有公厕，有凉亭，有设备完善的健身角落。路旁有长石凳可让您歇歇脚，有赏心悦目的不知名的白花红花。蔡老师一边欣赏，一边擦着汗笑说：“健走的感觉真好。下次我也会参加。”高龄80岁的夏先生说：“对于我来说每天健走2至3个小时问题并不大，走路是很好的运动。”
两个小时的健走，我们这次参加的会员都能完成挑战。我们在健走的行程中设有几个休息站，大家可以歇一歇脚，和缓气息再继续往前走。这也是一个集体运动，大家发挥了团体精神，扶持走得较慢的队友，大伙儿一块完成乐行。
同步健走可以达到维系彼此感情的效果。在健走的过程中，队友们相互鼓励与扶持，帮助某些队友完成了平时不可能完成的远程徒步。队友们也认同，多走路可促进心血管系统，提高协调能力，让身体机能保持年青。如果能定期往大自然快走，效果更佳。
寻找健走同伴
如果您也想参与健走活动，爱好大自然，那么您就是傳神要找的健走同伴了！只要身体健康，能参与远程健走者即可参加。请联络CCS武吉巴督邻里中心6560-5455询问详情。
Nature Park Health Walk
A beautiful Saturday morning awaken us to carry our light backpacks and gear up for a walk at Bukit Batok Nature Park. Fifteenth of us, friends of the Brisk Walking Club participated in this simple walk along the nature trail.
Bukit Batok Nature Park was the chosen venue as there are many century old trees towering the park offering a nice canopy over our head. There are also sheltered pavilions and well-equipped fitness corners for those who do not want to walk the trail.
As we set off on the trail, we noticed the different plants, trees and an occasion sighting of squirrels jumping up trees. There are monkeys in the depths of the forest. As we continued on our peaceful walk, we can hear the delightful chirping of birds echoing around us. Indeed the serene feeling for all of us on this morning was very captivating and we were simply captivated by the beauty of nature. It motivated us to take out our cameras and capture as many photos as we possible could.
We completed our walk in two hours. None of us were tired at all. Instead we felt rejuvenated. Throughout the two hours, we encourage each other to complete the trail.
Our English tutor, Mr Choa said with a cheerful grin, "It is really fun and enjoyable. I will definitely take part in the next walking activity.” Eighty years old Xia said, “Brisk walking for two to three hours a day is not a problem for me. I always walk in the mornings. It is good exercise.”
Brisk Walking is a healthy form of exercise. Medical evidence confirms walking improve our cardiovascular system and our coordination.
Concern & Care Society conducts regular morning nature walks through nature parks, or along the scenic routes of various reservoirs.
Anyone interested to join us and make walking a fun and joyful hobby, give us a call today at 6560-5455.
