The Arthritis Foundation Walk With Ease Program is an exercise program that can reduce pain and improve overall health. If you can be on your feet for 10 minutes without increased pain, you can have success with Walk With Ease.

MSU Extension offers the Walk With Ease Self-Directed Enhanced program where a group of individuals begin and end the six-week program at the same time. An MSU Extension leader coordinates communication to ensure participants are organized and motivated to complete the program. Participants are encouraged to walk 10 to 35 minutes at least three times per week.

During the six-week program, participants will:
• Understand the basics about arthritis and the relationship between arthritis, exercise, and easing pain.
• Exercise safely and comfortably. Use methods to make walking fun.
