You feel better whether you're running, biking, walking, roller blading, swimming or going to the gym. Studies have indicated that physical exercise extends a woman's life not only in longevity but also when measuring over all satisfaction. Research has concluded that women who stay active live better, are happier and age with more grace compared to those who aren't active. But it can be difficult in modern day times to get up and get out with worry-some husbands concerned for our safety or toddlers demanding our attention or just not having a reason to go or being without someone else to hold us accountable and to look forward to. Active Women in Semmes Park is just that - a group of women who get together and get active. Whether you show up for 15 minutes or for 45 minutes, we don't count how long you stay but how often and how consistent you are. We're not really counting how often you come either.... but come any way and as much as you want! Stay active, stay fit, stay happy. Mom? Toddlers, babies and children are welcome, there is always a minimum of one toddler attending the group with mom. What better a gift to bestow your baby than a life long appreciation for physicality? Natural serotonin producing activity which moves and breathes your body, gets your heart and blood pumping and leaves you and baby with that "Good kind of Tired" at the end of the day - ready for bed at a reasonable time - husbands, boyfriends and sons welcome to join with their women. Semmes Park has an enclosed dog run area where you can bring Fido and Fifi and either stay with them or let them run with other resident dogs of the neighborhood. Get the four leg members of your family out and about and tire them out so they fall asleep happy when you get home. Semmes Park has an enclosed tennis park. Semmes Park has a small playground with slides and swings. Semmes Park has a soccer field. Semmes Park has a babbling brook that runs through the park. Have you been to Semmes Park yet?

Welcome to, "The Seinfeld Lab!" It's the group about nothing! It's a group for anyone and everyone who just wants to do something! Pop-ups and events around the city, random activities, whatever you want. Your age, race, gender identity...none of that matters in this group. Well, you should at least be 21 and the oldest we'll take is 1,000. (^_^) Why is this group called a, "Lab?" Because, we tend to do random and obscure things for the first time. All of our events are really just social experiments. I mean, who wants to do the same stuff over and over? Except for trivia nights and Bingo at IKEA...we really like those activities! Anyway, I absolutely hate the feeling of coming across some cool activity or event, and not having anyone to go with, don't you? If you just want to try any and everything, and hang with cool people, become a scientist and join our lab! Also, join us on the app GroupMe for easy communication, updates, event tracking, and a bunch of other random stuff! ***[CLICK TO JOIN](https://groupme.com/join_group/102002293/nuUldrVO)***
