Lifelong Fitness Alliance, in collaboration with AARP and the Stanford Health Improvement Program, has developed a 10-week walking and wellness program. This program encourages individuals and communities to step up their overall wellness through peer support and goal setting.
A vital element of our program is the Fitness Ambassador. A Fitness Ambassador is a leader!! The Fitness Ambassador is a trained volunteer who is passionate about making a difference in their own life as well as their community. Their role is to act as a liaison between their walking group and Lifelong Fitness Alliance (LFA), leading weekly wellness meetings and group walks. All Fitness Ambassadors receive a training manual and constant support from LFA.
All participants will receive a 10-week 85 page manual full of health and wellness topics such as nutrition, brain fitness, and the importance of sleep. They will also receive a pedometer and tracking calendars to track fruit and vegetable intake as well as daily steps with the pedometer. There is a program fee of $25.00 that covers the cost of materials each participant receives. You also have the option to “Save a Tree” and download the manual directly to your computer. We offer a limited number of scholarships. It is our desire to encourage everyone to participate, regardless of ability to pay. This is a great way to get healthy and meet new friends!!
