Gwinnett commissioners accepted a $4,000 grant Tuesday on behalf of Gwinnett’s Parks and Recreation to support a program developed by the Arthritis Foundation called Walk With Ease.
Based on studies at the University of North Carolina, Walk With Ease has been shown to reduce pain and stiffness often associated with arthritis, increase balance and strength, and improve overall health. Parks and Recreation will offer the program through its Live Healthy Gwinnett initiative three times per week for six weeks. The classes will be led by certified and trained instructors and are ideally suited for anyone interested in preventing or managing arthritis as well as for those looking for a regular, low-impact local exercise program.
Dates and times will be announced soon online at www.livehealthygwinnett.com.
