Have you been planning on getting in better shape, but just can’t seem to find the time? We’ve got some good news for you: Fall is here and it’s a great time to start a walking routine!
Ardent Solutions invites community members to join us in observance of National Fall Prevention Awareness Day to learn more about Walk With Ease, a program for better living. “Walk With Ease is a free, six-week walking program developed by the Arthritis Foundation for anyone 18 years of age or older who has a chronic disease or is looking to become more active,” stated Jose Soto, Walk With Ease Coordinator.
Endorsed by the Center for Disease Control and the New York State Department of Health, Walk With Ease increases a person’s sense of control, quality of life, reduces pain and promotes education about arthritis self-management.
“Walk With Ease focuses on motivational strategies, such as action planning and goal setting, to help participants succeed,” explained Soto. “Community members who enroll in the free program will be provided a Walk With Ease Guidebook and a pedometer at no cost to assist in developing a routine.”
