I need to Exercise!
Are you looking for a way to get back into a simple exercise program that you can keep
up? Have you tried a walking program before? Can you walk at least ten minutes? Would
you like to improve your overall health and well-being?
No matter if you need relief from arthritis pain or just want to be active, the Arthritis
Foundation Walk With Ease Program can teach you how to safely make physical activity
part of your everyday life. Walk With Ease offers support, information and tools to help
you succeed.
Walking has been proven to help with weight loss, stress control, increasing strength,
balance, and walking pace, as well as reducing pain. The Walk With Ease (WWE) arthritis
self-management program was developed by the Arthritis Foundation to be used in a
community setting with individuals who may be either self or medically diagnosed with
arthritis. Classes will begin March 15th meeting twice a week Tuesday and Thursday for
nine weeks in the Large Card Room at 2:00 pm under the direct supervision of Mary Hand
who is a walking leader trained according to guidelines of the Arthritis Foundation. Each
meeting begins with a pre-walk discussion covering a specified topic related to exercise
and arthritis, followed by a 10- to 40-minute walk that includes a warm-up and cool-down,
stretches, and take home exercises that will build strength for walking. The program will
include a guidebook and lots of surprises and special encouragements along the way.
The Class is limited to 15 participants. Please register with Life Enhancement by
completing an application and release form. For more information: call Life Enhancement
at 866-4414 or check with Mary in the Oasis. Before starting any exercise program, always
check with your physician.
The Arthritis Foundation Walk With Ease Program is an arthritis health education and
exercise program aimed at helping people take greater control of arthritis.
