Walk With Ease in the Worksite  

The Walk With Ease in the Worksite program is a low-cost, 6-week walking program that can easily be integrated into an employer’s wellness program or provide an excellent starting point for a new wellness program.  Walk With Ease is the only walking program identified as arthritis-appropriate and evidence-based by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Walk With Ease has been proven effective in increasing balance, reducing pain, improving mental health, flexibility and overall physical health.  Employers can use this packaged program to educate, incentivize, motivate and help improve overall quality of life for their employees. 

Walk With Ease can be done by individuals using the Walk With Ease guidebook, on their own or in a group led by a certified leader. While walking is the central activity, Walk With Ease is a multi-component program that includes health education, strengthening and stretching exercises, and motivational strategies. 

Walk With Ease is designed for everyone with or without arthritis! The only requirement is that the participant must be able to stand on their feet for at least 10 minutes. 

The Arthritis Foundation can provide resources and customize a specific plan for your worksite to help get your started. Contact the Walk With Ease in the Workplace Coordinator today!
