The Central Missouri Regional Arthritis Center (CEMRAC) is looking for volunteers to lead Walk with Ease and\/or the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program in your community.\u00a0 In return, CEMRAC will cover the cost of your training and provide materials for your class.<\/p>\n

Walk with Ease<\/strong>
\nWalk with Ease is designed to help people living with arthritis better manage their pain.\u00a0 It’s also ideal for people without arthritis who want to make walking a regular habit.\u00a0 Research shows that walking is not only good for joints, but also helps improve the health of the heart, lungs and bones.\u00a0 Walking can also help manage weight which can reduce one’s risk of arthritis in the knee, heart disease and diabetes.\u00a0 Walk with Ease is a structured walking program that offers support, information and tools to help participants develop successful exercise routines.\u00a0 During the program, participants will learn proper stretching and pain management techniques, as well as build stamina and walking pace.\u00a0 The program can even be modified to meet the needs of individual participants so that each person can develop an exercise routine that fits their unique goals.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The next Walk with Ease instructor training is scheduled on September 28, 2012 from 12:30 pm \u2013 5:00 pm in Columbia.\u00a0 Space is limited.<\/p>\n

Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program<\/strong>
\nThe Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program (formerly known as PACE) is designed specifically for people with arthritis but is appropriate for people without arthritis.\u00a0 It uses gentle activities to help increase joint flexibility and range of motion and help maintain muscle strength.\u00a0 The program is designed to fit any fitness level \u2013 with exercises done while sitting or standing.\u00a0 The exercises in the program, however, should not replace therapeutic exercises prescribed by a therapist.\u00a0 Participants previously enrolled in the program have experienced such benefits as increased functional ability, increased self-behaviors, decreased, pain, and decreased depression.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The next Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program instructor training is scheduled on September 29, 2012 from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm in Columbia.\u00a0 Space is limited.<\/p>\n

Please feel free to contact me for additional information or to register.\u00a0 Registration deadline is September 21, 2012.<\/p>\n
