FranciscanFit Mallwalkers Program "Steps Off" Again Jan. 26

"Steppin Out in 2011" will be the presentation topic for the next Franciscanfit -- Steps to Good Health monthly Mallwalkers program.

The free program, sponsored by Franciscan Alliance Northern Indiana Region hospitals and Westfield Southlake Mall, is scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. Jan. 26.

The public is invited to attend a 9 a.m. presentation of the program theme offered by Jane Bogordos, fitness supervisor for Omni 41 Health and Fitness Connection in Schererville. Bogordos will discuss the importance of stretching and warming up before walking, teach participants how to check their heart rate and lead the group in stretches that can be performed before walking. Blood pressure and resting heart rate screenings also will be available.

New Mallwalkers members are welcome to register for the program, which takes place on the mall’s lower level, outside of JC Penney, on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

Regular walkers hours are 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 9 to 11 a.m. Sundays.

For more information, call (1-800) 931-3322.
