A local partnership and grant have come together to launch a unique pilot exercise program starting next month in Kaneohe for people with arthritis, as well as those who just want to walk.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a very exciting collaborative partnership with the Arthritis Foundation, Windward Mall and Pohai Nani Retirement Community,\u201d said Judy Knutson, Pohai Nani\u2019s wellness program director. She noted that the mall already has many walkers, and \u201cit\u2019s really a safe place.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWalk with Ease\u201d is planned in a series of six-week sessions, welcoming a new group of up to 30 participants each time. It will be run from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday at the mall, offering arthritis-specific programming by a certified instructor on the following dates: Oct. 22-Nov. 30, March 4-April 12, and Aug. 5-<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sept. 13. Fee is $25 and includes a kit (guidebook, workbook, pedometer, carry-all bag, and a reflective shoe wallet and slap wrist band).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s open to any person as long as they can tolerate being on their feet for 10 minutes without increased pain,\u201d Knutson added, \u201cand who have consulted with their health care provider.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each class begins with a discussion of a specific exercise and arthritis topic, followed by a 10- to 40- minute walk, including warm up and cool-down exercises and stretches. Pohai Nani will host a free arthritis seminar from 10 a.m. to noon Oct. 2, and will accept \u201cWalk with Ease\u201d registration during that time. The facility, located at 45-090 Namoku St., has held exercise classes for its residents for years, but is expanding that service to the general public with a grant from its parent organization, the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, \u201cto promote programs and projects that benefit communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Knutson pointed out that Hawaii has 236,000 people diagnosed with arthritis who must deal with pain daily. Walking programs such as \u201cWalk with Ease,\u201d she said, have been shown to reduce pain and discomfort, increase balance, strength and walking pace, build confidence to be physically active and improve overall health.<\/p>\n
