Doesn't it just feel good to get outside? Researchers at Brigham Young University found that getting outside and soaking up a little sunshine was associated with better mental health. In fact, sunshine has more impact on mood than rainfall, temperature or any other environmental factor. Find lots of low-and-no-cost fun and active outside things to do in Lincoln in this most recent Health & the City.
May is National Bike Month and Lincoln is a bike friendly city. The health benefits of biking for kids and adults are numerous, and opportunities abound in Lincoln over the month. Even if you don't own a bike or don't know how to bike, there is help and options are available.
