Off the Couch and On Your Feet

LeeAnn Atwood, Neighbor

Off Your Couch and On Your Feet!” Tuesday, January 29, from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. – This interactive demonstration will illustrate the mechanics of a program designed to get just about anyone off the couch and running a 5K in a few short months. From choosing appropriate running shoes to proper injury prevention, learn how taking small steps can have a big impact on health. The event is facilitated by Tammy Tomich, physical therapy assistant at Cancer Treatment Centers of America and Jennifer Peldiak, corporate wellness and assistant group exercise coordinator at Buehler YMCA, Palatine.  The event offers information about how programs at the Y can assist in maintaining and improving active living during life’s changes. The first 10 registered attendees will win a three-month membership to the Buehler YMCA! (Must be in attendance to win; one per family.)
