FIT FOR LIFE:
The Gardens Mall Walking Club and Jupiter Medical Center Presents
“Exercise and Managing Joint Pain”
Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. – Join The Gardens Mall Walking Club on Tuesday, August 15, and meet Judy Dellosa, a registered nurse and Orthopedic & Spine Patient Navigator at Jupiter Medical Center, who will discuss lifestyle tips and exercise techniques to help improve one’s overall joint health.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 15 million U.S. adults live with moderate to severe joint pain related to arthritis. Severe joint pain limits a person’s ability to do basic tasks and can affect their quality of life. Learning self-management skills, maintaining a healthy diet, and being active can help manage joint pain.
Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. in the Nordstrom Court. Light bites will be served. Discussion with Judy Dellosa starts at 9 a.m. Stretching and cardio intensive mall walking will follow at 9:30 a.m.
The number of calories burned when walking depends on the intensity of the walk, as well as the person’s weight. According to Harvard Health Publications, a 125-pound person will burn about 120 calories walking 1.5 miles, while a 185-pound person will burn about 170 calories.
New members will receive a complimentary Mall Walker Fit Kit from Jupiter Medical Center, which includes a tote bag, water bottle, pedometer, and T-shirt. Membership also includes special offers from participating mall retailers, and invitations to health and wellness screenings, events, and lectures. Plus it’s free!
