Pedometer Walking Program
It's Never Too Late to Join!

 

Missed our Inaugural "InfoSocial"?

 

Here's what one participant had to say: "Had a great time...at the kickoff of the free pedometer walking program. Met some great people, who represented a variety of goals and experiences. Brenda taught us some dynamic warm-up exercises and Leah showed us what's new in cold-weather apparel (it's amazing!). Walked away with a free pedometer, too...."
