Some of the benefits of participating in an exercise program may include:
- Improved cardiovascular fitness
- Increased strength and endurance
- Improved balance
- Better bladder and bowel function
- Less fatigue and depression
- Overall feeling of well-being
- Management of stress

The Long Island Chapter requires a $50.00 annual wellness programs participation fee. The more programs a participant attends, the lower the cost per class becomes. With that in mind, we encourage you to consider programs you have not experienced before in addition to your favorite wellness activities. These fees will also help maintain the Chapter's current wellness programs. We appreciate your participation.
Have you paid the annual wellness program fee of $50?
