Many of the exercises can be done standing if preferred. 35-40 minutes

Graham Walks

I’m delighted to again be a sponsor of Graham Walks this spring, an initiative to get the community walking. It is a 5-week “virtual” program from April 29-June 5 and is free and open to all. Sign up online, and you can walk when and where it’s convenient for you. If you complete your walking logs each week and meet your goal, you’ll be entered to win prizes! Open to all area residents; you do not need to live in Graham to participate. Find out more and register here.

Gym and community exercise classes

All in-person gym and community center classes are suspended until further notice, as we are following the CDC and local government guidelines during the coronavirus crisis. The CDC currently says to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people, and that older adults should stay home.

I look forward to when we can resume again. I’ll keep you posted in my newsletter and social media channels. In the meantime, please join me for an online class or online personal training!
