The new year has begun and of course with every new year, comes a host of resolutions. If one of your resolutions is to get healthier, start exercising, shed some weight, then join us on Saturday afternoons at Pelham Bay Park as we will come together and exercise for life. As some of you may know, I prefer working out outdoors more so than on the inside. I simply love nature and if it’s not too cold you will catch me at the park. Now, this isn’t a boot camp class, but a simple walk and/or jog gr …

For people, not necessarily old, who want to take some scenic walks on Long Island. Maybe bring the dog. Maybe stop and take a picture or two. Maybe look at a park bench and say "This has my name on it." This started as a germ of an idea days ago, and I have to admit that I'm blown away by the response. I've lived on the  Island 23 years now, and I think I can find any number of fun, safe places for leisurely recreation. Thanks!

The Move Together Walk/Run club welcomes all beginning runners, walkers, and those looking to jump start their cardio!

Aerobic exercise almost anyone can do! If you can walk, you can do Nordic walking. All you need is a set of poles, some walking shoes and a desire to get outside and go. Just show up at the designated time and place and to meet and greet.

No poles, no worrie …

Calling all dog walkers and pet lovers! I'd love for my Corgi mix puppy to meet other puppies and dogs for occasional walks and doggy playdates.

This is a walking therapy group.  As a therapist working with compulsive overeating and obesity  I became very aware that people did not know how to use the tools available to them.  They needed more support, guidance,  education and hove all, motivation.  That led me to start blending therapy with exercise to help people get over the hump and start down the road to recovery from obesity. This group is for overweight, and obese people who want to incorporate exercise into therapy. If you have ha …
