The County of Monterey Commission on the Status of Women celebrates National Day of Women's Health and Fitness by uplifting the importance of accessible, inclusive, and holistic health for all women.

Health and fitness are not just about exercise—they’re about strength, resilience, and community. Every woman deserves the opportunity to care for her body and mind, regardless of age, background, or circumstance.

On this day, we encourage women across the County of Monterey to:
- Take a moment for movement—whether it’s a walk, dance, stretch, or workout.
- Prioritize self-care in a way that feels nourishing to you.
- Support and uplift the women around you in their health journeys.

How do you plan on finding movement today?

Together, we can build a community where every woman has the resources, respect, and opportunities to thrive. 💜
