To help increase your daily movement
Whether you need relief from arthritis pain or just want to be active, the Arthritis Foundation's six-week self-directed Walk With EaseSM (WWE) program can help you safely make physical activity a part of your everyday life!
This program is proven to:
- Reduce the pain and discomfort of arthritis
- Increase balance, strength and walking pace
- Improve overall health
- Build confidence in your ability to be physically active
Walk With EaseSM is a fun, supportive program that blends health education, gentle stretches and strengthening exercises, movement, and uplifting motivation to help you stay active.
There are two formats to the Walk With EaseSM program offered by UNH Extension:
- Our in-person WWE programs meet three times a week for six-weeks at a designated location in the community where participants learn, connect and move together.
- In our virtual WWE programs, participants engage in movement on their own schedule, working towards three movement sessions per week, during the six-week series. Participants receive ongoing support through weekly emails, lesson videos and live online Zoom gatherings that foster connection and community.
Whether you join in-person or online, Walk With EaseSM will help you reach your goals at your pace! Check out our upcoming classes below. Feel free to reach out to us to learn more or if you have any questions about the program.
This program is offered in both English and Spanish.
