The Buena Vista County Extension Office is offering a program to help local residents ease into better health.
“Walk With Ease” is a six-week, evidence-based program developed by the Arthritis Foundation to help older adults establish healthy patterns of physical activity through walking. The effort is part of an ongoing research program to capture the benefits for reducing risks of falls and general benefits for older adults.
The “Walk With Ease” program will begin locally on Wednesday, September 4th. Sessions will be available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 10am to 11am. The series will conclude on October 10th.
Registration is required by Thursday, August 29th. Contact the Buena Vista County Extension Office to sign up. Call 732-5056 or email Stacie Hewett at shewett@iastate.edu. Organizations that would like to partner with ISU Extension to offer “Walk With Ease” in BV County can contact BV Extension or visit www.walkwitheaseisu.org.
