The new Walk with Ease program starts APRIL 8th! This program is designed for ALL ADULTS —not just seniors.
Whether your doctor encourages more walking, you have specific health conditions that would benefit from it, or you’ve just been less active lately, this program is for YOU!
Here’s what you need to know:
- No membership required: You don’t need to be a Sr Center member to participate.
- Flexible sessions: We’ll have multiple 6-week sessions (this is the first). Sessions are on M/W/F and you can choose between 10:30 am or 6:00 pm each day.

- Educational component: Along with warm-ups, cool-downs, and stretches, we’ll
provide educational content.
- Set your pace: Choose how far and how long you want to walk. We will partner up so
no one has to walk alone!
