REGION – Senior Solutions is offering a new wellness program. Studies have shown that walking promotes better health. To help us all get started on this habit safely, Senior Solutions is adopting the Arthritis Foundation’s evidence-based walking program.
No matter what level of fitness you find yourself at, there is a way to get started. What are some of the benefits of walking? Weight loss, stress control, improved balance, stamina, and overall health. This is for everyone, from beginners to those who have always been physically fit.
The Walk With Ease program provides personal lessons on walking, breathing, gentle stretching, and information about joint pain. As a participant, you will receive a book to record your walking progress.
This program is structured for both individuals and for group activities. If you put a group together, Senior Solutions’ nutrition and wellness director Thom Simmons will help you get it started. He is a certified program leader with the Arthritis Foundation. Call Thom now at 802-755-7295 and get started on this six-week walking habit.
