Who are we?

Just three in 10 adults get the recommended amount of physical activity into their daily routines.  More than a third of adults say they are not physically active at all, according to research from the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.

The Active Living Coalition is comprised of individuals and organizations representing community sectors of health care, education, city government, county government, business, and service organizations who are addressing the public health issue of physical inactivity. We strive to increase the number of people who engage in a healthy, physically active lifestyle through collaborative efforts on community events, research, networking and programming that leads to increased physical activity opportunities for all who reside in Monroe County.

Active Living Coalition meetings are open to all interested individuals and organizations.  The Active Living Coalition meets on the first Thursday of each month from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Indiana University Health Community Health in Bloomington at 333 E. Miller Drive.

The Active Living Coalition is proud to present a Walking Guide to Bloomington. Have fun! We know you’ll enjoy your healthy, active lifestyle.

Are You Active?

Active Living means incorporating physical activity into your daily life. An Active Living lifestyle incorporates non-traditional opportunities for activity, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator, gardening, or playing with children as well as participating in more traditional forms of physical activity, such as walking, exercise classes and sports.
