Hey Mercer County, in case you missed it, you can now watch the recorded Wellness Wednesday with FCHS webinar hosted by Ricardo Kairios, FCHS Educator of Mercer County, Let’s Get Physical: Simple Ways to Engage in Physical Activity During a Busy Week

During this webinar, Ricardo explained the three major types of physical activity (aerobic activities, muscle-strengthening activities, and flexibility/balance activities), which included an overview of the health benefits and recommended duration. He provided examples of ways folks can easily engage in these activities throughout the week. Ricardo also shared resources from Move Your Way, a campaign developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
