WALK WITH EASE:
THURSDAYS, OCTOBER 3 - NOVEMBER 7, 12:45pm
Certified leaders Tracey and Claire from the Montgomery County Office of Senior Services will host The Arthritis Foundation’s Walk With Ease Program this fall at Generations.
Walk With Ease is a six week, multi-component program that includes walking, health education, stretching and strengthening exercises, and motivational strategies. The program includes a guidebook and a walking schedule to get you safely moving toward better health on your own after the six week program concludes.
Studies by the Thurston Arthritis Research Center and the Institute on Aging of the University of North Carolina show that Walk With Ease is proven to: reduce the pain and discomfort of arthritis, increase balance, strength and walking pace, build confidence in your ability to be physically active, and improve overall health.
Each one hour session begins with a pre-walk discussion covering a specified topic related to exercise and arthritis, a warm up, followed by a 10- to 40-minute walk (outside around Souderton, weather permitting) and a cool-down. This class is full. To register for the waiting list, visit our front desk or call 215-723-5841.
