Social Strollers walking group debuts June 19 at the Senior Center
A new walking group is starting on Tuesday, June 19, 2018 at the South Hadley Council on Aging Senior Center. Participation is free and the only prerequisite to join the new Social Strollers is a good pair of walking shoes and a desire for fresh air and fun!
Following the Mayo Clinic’s best practices for walking clubs, experienced leaders will guide participants through the neighborhoods surrounding the Senior Center and beyond!
The group will start with a 5-minute warm-up, followed by 5 minutes of walking and then a 5-minute cool-down. Each week, 2 minutes of walking will be added to your time, with a goal of walking a full hour by September 2018.
Two walking sessions per week are scheduled with the Social Strollers, on Tuesday and Friday mornings from 9:30am to 10:30am. Participants are encouraged to walk additional sessions on their own. There will be T-shirts for all participants and the opportunity to win bi-monthly raffle gifts.
To register, call the South Hadley Senior Center at 413-538-5042 and ask for Nancy. The Senior Center is located at 45 Dayton Street in South Hadley, and parking is available.
