Walking to become physically active meets both the easy and inexpensive categories. The mall shelters you from bad weather and is also safe. I had a chance to talk with Peggy Farmer, the Director at the Pardee Health Education Center, about getting physically active and here's some helpful hints that she has suggested that will meet your needs safely and easily. The Pardee Health Education Center offers programs that can help out with the benefits just mentioned.
Participants meet weekly for a one hour class.
Peggy also shared an inspirational story that occurred at the Pardee Health Education Center. This is a story of a lovely African American woman who came to the Gentle Fitness class walking with a cane and has now lost 75 lbs.
