 Mt. Kisco, NY - Mall walkers can learn about and experience a unique, integrated approach to achieving mind and body wellness during a presentation by Apogee Pilates & Wellness Centers on Friday, August 14, at The Westchester in White Plains as part of the Be Fit Mall Walk program.
Apogee – which means “highest point” – owns and operates fitness studios in Bedford Hills and in White Plains. Apogee works with the classic Pilates movement regimen, which emphasizes low-impact, mind/body exercise to strengthen the “core,” or middle part of the body, to improve overall fitness. This method can also be used as an effective tool in managing pain and stress.
Beginning at 9 a.m., fitness instructor Melanie Danza will discuss Apogee’s fully integrated fitness and wellness program and will encourage mall walkers to try out a variety of exercises to help them get started on their own regimen. An avid exerciser throughout her 60 years, Ms. Danza has taught fitness for over 30 years.
The program will be conducted at the Food Court on Level 4. Admission and parking are free for Be Fit members.
Sponsored by the Westchester County Parks Department, the Be Fit program offers indoor health walking at Westchester’s premier mall on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., throughout the year. It is part of County Executive Andy Spano’s Be Fit Westchester initiative, which encourages residents of all ages to eat healthy, get fit and stay fit, and live longer. As part of the mall walking program, a special guest speaker is presented on the first Friday of each month providing information on health issues, safety and nutrition.
To join Be Fit, sign up at the horse fountain plaza between Crate & Barrel and Restoration Hardware on retail level two of the mall, on Tuesday and Friday mornings during the program.
