Joni Albright, commissioner of special projects at the Indiana State Department of Health, said the best approach is to increase opportunities for healthier decisions within a community. She said it is more than the prevalence of fitness centers that require membership fees, but making neighborhoods a safe place to walk, bike or run.
"We can't just tell people you've got to go out and exercise," she said. "We've got to help the communities identify places to go recreate."
Terre Haute's addition of the National Road Heritage Trail is one way the community has shown an interest in more healthy living. Albright said continuous sidewalks throughout neighborhoods are also important for fostering exercise.
Once opportunities are available, communities can nurture a healthier lifestyle in several ways, Albright said, such as staging a community walk or a town challenge for citizens to pledge to walk a certain number of miles through the summer.
