Walk With Ease Program Starts April 3
MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital and the Arthritis Foundation will offer an ongoing walking program at the Loffler Senior Activity Center at Chancellor’s Run Regional Park in April and May.
The Arthritis Foundation Walk With Ease program is designed to help people living with arthritis better manage their pain and is also ideal for people without arthritis who want to make walking a regular habit. Shown to reduce pain and increase balance and walking pace, Walk With Ease provides participants with the information and tools they need to develop a safe exercise routine that fits their unique needs and goals.
The group will meet three times a week for six weeks and will discuss tips for stretching; strengthening and walking safely and comfortably; health education information; and personalized walking routes.
Walk With Ease will meet every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday beginning April 3. The dates and time are 9 am Monday, April 3, through Friday, May 12, 2017, at the center at Chancellor’s Run Regional Park
