Wellness Wednesday with Betsy Press, NP

The work-out:

Today's workout is a 30-minute treadmill interval workout.  There is a walker version and a runner version.  Both of these workouts can be adapted for use outside or for your ability. The idea is to vary the pace and intensity.

Please check with your healthcare professional prior to starting any work-outs.  As always, stop in at the Darien Clinic with questions for NP Betsy Press.
