Walking is a low-impact physical activity that can reduce joint pain and enhance physical and mental health. Join us for a fun, volunteer-led walking group two times per week! The Walking Group program is free and seniors can join at any time during the six weeks. Sessions last around 30 minutes and include a warm-up, walking and stretching. They have hosted the walks at Drew Wellness, Bull Street District, and will host this next session at The Lourie Center’s outdoor walking path

Benefits include increased balance, strength, and walking pace in a supportive setting. Senior Resources Volunteers Liz Melendez and Karen Tanner host the walking club several times a year, meeting the group at set times and locations and offering health education and encouragement with each session.
Walkers who participate in two walks a week for all six-weeks will receive free brunch tickets to Senior Resources’ Biscuits and Bluegrass Benefit on October 28.
