The municipality has deliberately chosen to place these exercise methods in the center because the sport is less visible in this area. The walk takes you through the most beautiful and greenest areas in the center of Willebroek. The exercise modes are suitable for everyone: young people, the elderly, athletes or lesser athletes. It is especially fun with family or friends. “Exercise methods contribute to a healthier lifestyle and stimulate the social contacts and self-reliance of the elderly in their environment,” confirms local councilor Paavo Ancio (Open Vld), who is in charge of the Huis van de Zorg in Willebroek. “We hope that these ways of exercising will inspire everyone to exercise more and enjoy our wonderful municipality.”
