(Hays, KS) April 15, 2016 – HaysMed’s The Center for Health Improvement is proud to partner with The Medical Fitness Association to sponsor the 12th Annual Medical Fitness Week, April 23 – 29, 2016.  The Center is celebrating with several free programs open to the public.

MOVE150 is an activity encouraging participants to complete 150 minutes of activity during the week.  You can pick up a MOVE150 card at The Center that lists your activity challenges for the week.  Participants are eligible to win prizes ranging from free memberships to CHI to t-shirts.

WALK10K challenges participants to walk 10,000 steps per day for the week.  You can pick up your log sheet at The Center.  Complete the challenge and be eligible for prizes.

Family Fitness Spring Blast will be held Thursday, April 28th 6:00-6:45pm rain or shine.  Bring your family and friends and join us on the HaysMed Fitness Trail to usher in Spring with outdoor fun!

 CHI Group Fitness Spring Blast is scheduled for Saturday, April 30th 8:00-11:00am.  Join instructors from CHI as they lead classes in a variety of formats throughout the morning including: Yoga, Pilates, Spinning, Water Aerobics, HIIT, and lots more! Great workouts for any fitness level.

In addition, the public is encouraged to use The Center for free during this week to try out the equipment and various group classes.  Participants need to be age 13 and up and should check in at the front desk.

The goal of the Medical Fitness Association initiative is to promote an increase in physical activity levels in all ages and to highlight the medical fitness difference.  During this international event medical fitness centers throughout the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Europe, and Asia are offering resources and educational opportunities for their communities promoting the medical fitness difference and raising awareness of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

This is a unifying event, bringing medically integrated fitness facilities around the world together for one purpose – to encourage the communities that they serve to be active and to commit to a fit and healthy lifestyle.  “What a fun way to start or keep moving, said Stephanie Howie , Fitness Director The Center for Health Improvement.  During Medical Fitness Week we are challenging our Center Members and the community to participate in the MOVE150 and WALK10K initiatives.  These are two small initiatives that fit with our motto that is “To Get Well Sooner and Stay Well Longer.  It’s also a great time for the community to try out all the programs and services that The Center has to offer.”
