The Walk With Ease program:

  • Meets 3 times per week for about an hour for 6 weeks
  • Led by 1-2 trained program providers
  • Sessions consist of a “lecturette topic” lasting about 5-10 minutes, warm up, stretching, walking, cool down, and stretching.
  • There is also a program option that encourages walking on one’s own and/or once weekly group walking sessions, with support through on-line and email resources.
