“This program has had tremendous participation and success in hundreds of cities around the world,” said Melanie Brennan, PT DPT and Executive Director of ExercisAbilities “I’m very pleased to bring this program to Rochester as it has shown much-improved health results for countless people around the world.”

According to the American Heart Association, walking as little as 30 minutes a day can improve blood pressure and blood sugar levels, help maintain healthy body weight and lower the risk of obesity, enhance mental well-being, and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Together, we can become a healthier community.
