AUSTIN- According to several medical studies, African-Americans have a higher probability of being obese, developing high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, and diabetes than Americans of European, Hispanic, or Asian descent. Many of these health issues can be rectified by exercise.
The African American Fitness Circle meets the 1st Saturday of every month at Highland Mall (6001 Airport Blvd in Austin). Each individual walks at their own pace. The group will meet  at the food court and start walking at 9:00am-10:00am.
Bring a water bottle and remember to wear comfortable shoes. Both men and women are invited. For more information, email aaecaustin@yahoo.com.
