Aerobic Walking
Workout
Walking done right is one of the best head to toe workouts we can do for ourselves. It works all our major
muscles, and is a great way to ease into exercise. The class will be lead by Weight Management Coach Dot
Parkes and will meet once a week for one hour. You will learn about intensity, duration, footwear, timing, mileage and correct walking movement to incorporate into your walking workout.
Cost is $60.00 - for 3 months. Walking locations will be selected and ready for first class.
Healthy Dish Group
Is a fun and informative
group which meets once a month for 6 months. The group will be exchanging recipes and will bring and sample healthy dishes made from recipes you enjoy or have come across. It is hosted by Nutrition Specialist Dot Parkes, and Dot will supply recipes and treats for our first class. Each meeting we will draw names from our group to bring a healthy dish and recipe to share for our next meeting. Everyone is encouraged to bring a recipe each month. Dot will collect them and have copies put together for our next meeting.
Dot will lead the group in discussion, share tips and
tools toward healthy cooking... a social, healthy time.
Cost $30.00 Meets once a month for one hour; runs 6 months
Menu Planning
For those of us who want to eat healthy but look into a full refrigerator and say... What's to
eat. This class will review our basic food groups and help students to create sample
menus to follow. This is done by choosing a few students each week to structure a food plan in class, then everyone will be asked to create
their own for the week to come.
Cost $72.00 one hour - runs 6 weeks
Weight Management Awareness Group
This group is for people who
are just starting to think about managing their weight, but do not
know where to start or how committed they can be. We will discuss
options, current diet plans, what's safe and what is shaky. Why
exercise? How much exercise is needed? And how to start creating
healthy lifestyle changes. There are no calories to count in this
group.
Cost $72.00 one hour runs for 6 weeks
