Popular Nature Trails in the North Dallas Area

When you think of Dallas, you might think of urban sprawl, big business and indoor gyms. But there is a lot more to Dallas than just big city fun. Dallas has its share of parks and nature trails, as well as beautiful wildlife preserves. All of which make for great outdoor exercising opportunities. Getting out of the house or office to enjoy these trails helps increase your daily activity and feel the benefits of weight loss after your bariatric surgery.

When going to a nature trail to exercise, be sure to wear cool, comfortable clothes that provide the right protection from the elements. Bring a cell phone, map, compass and water with you and always make sure to tell a friend or neighbor where you plan to be and for how long you intend to stay.
