In light of February being designated American Heart Month, "Resistance Band Training for Cardio Health" 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 hospitals and Westfield Southlake Mall, is scheduled for 8 to 10 a.m. Feb. 23.
The public is invited to attend a 9 a.m. presentation of the program theme offered by Carlos Celis, Franciscan Alliance regional wellness specialist. Celis will offer an interactive demonstration that will show participants how to build strength, tone muscles and maximize cardio workouts by using resistance bands.
Blood pressure screenings will be provided by The Heart Institute at Franciscan St. Anthony Health - Crown Point. Healthy heart information will be available from Jody Adams, a cardiovascular nurse practitioner at Franciscan Physicians Hospital, LLC, in Munster.
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.
