The Hutchinson News The Arthritis Foundation’s Walk With Ease Program will be offered starting April 19 at the Delos V. Smith Senior Center. The structured walking program teaches participants how to safely make physical activity part of their everyday life. The program is designed to help people living with arthritis better manage their pain and is also ideal for those without arthritis who want to make walking a daily habit. Pre-registration is required, but the program, offered through the KDHE’s Chronic Disease Risk Reduction grant, is free. Participants will meet at 9 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays for six weeks, starting with 10 minutes of education, warm-up/stretching, then a 5 to 30-minute walk, and ending with cool-down/stretching led by a certified instructor.
