Why Bike?
Lifestyle physical activity (like biking for transportation) is as effective as a structured exercise program in improving physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, and blood pressure in previously sedentary healthy adults.
Who we are
Fit City is a collaborative effort between Beltrami Wellness Education for Long Life (B-WELL), Headwaters Regional Development Commission (HRDC), and the City of Bemidji Parks and Recreation Department, working to provide you with your one stop shop to nutrition, wellness, active living, events in our community, and so much more.
Fit City
A city in Minnesota that supports and encourages its residents to be more physically active may be designated as a Governor’s Fit City. The City of Bemidji was awarded the “Fit City” Designation in 2009, due to the City’s committment to providing opportunities for physical activity to people who live, work, and play within the city. These opportunities allow people to make the choice to be more physically active.
Active Living
“Active Living is a way of life that integrates physical activity into daily routines.” Active living is about shifting attitudes toward physical activity, changing behaviors, and improving the overall health of people in the Bemidji Community. Active Living Bemidji is now in the first of 4 years of implementation.
Parks and Recreation
The mission of Bemidji’s Parks and Recreation Department is to provide facilities, activities, and parklands to enrich the lives of citizens and tourists. The Park and Recreation Department maintains approximately 205 acres and 19 parks, maintains all trees on public property including boulevards and parklands, operates the Neilson Reise Arena and provides a variety of recreation programs and activities.
