<p>Come to Fort Tryon Park and try something new.&nbsp;Join us on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings for one hour of walking, stretching, and strengthening exercises.</p><p>All of our fitness programs are free, led by trained professionals, and suitable for all levels. Wear comfortable clothing and bring water. Please check back for rain and weather/air advisory cancels.<br /><br />For a breath of fresh air, take your workouts outdoors.&nbsp; Parks are becoming a logical alternative environment for those who want to add variety to their work outs, or who just don&#39;t like the gym. And, it&#39;s an affordable way to increase physical activity opportunities, because there&#39;s nothing special to build.</p><p>Exercise with a view, in natural sunlight, with green scenery all around bestows health benefits that can&rsquo;t be found indoors. Scientific studies have shown that the pleasure of being outdoors for example gives your brain, psyche, and immune system an extra boost.</p><p><strong>Please note:&nbsp;</strong>Fitness programs are canceled if the weather is lower than 20 degrees and when there are icy conditions.</p>

Join us for one hour of walking, stretching, and strengthening exercises.

<p><strong>Join NYC Parks and the New York City Mayor&#39;s Office of Media and Entertainment for a free film!</strong></p><p>This animated adaptation of the hugely popular video-game series follows three avian friends as they put their anger to good use by fighting back against a hostile force. Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis), Chuck (Josh Gad), and Bomb (Danny McBride) are all outcasts who don&#39;t quite fit in on Bird Island, a community of flightless fowl who pride themselves on staying positive and cheerful at all times. The trio hit it off after meeting at an anger-management class, and are the only birds who seem even remotely suspicious when a group of green pigs arrive on their island. When the swine&#39;s nefarious plans are revealed, only Red and his pals have what it takes to save the day.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Know Before You Go:</strong></p><p>You should arrive before 7:00&nbsp;p.m. to get your spot. Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on, although there will be a limited supply of chairs available. Bottled waters are OK, but no glass.
