Gear Up for This Summer with Steps to Better Health

May seems like it only just started and not just because time flies. With highs regularly falling below 70 degrees this month (at least here in mid-Missouri), it felt like April never left, despite what the calendar said.

As temperatures and humidity steadily rise, there's no question that summer is almost here! At MAOP we're gearing up with exercise classes to help you take full advantage of the season — be it walking with Walk With Ease, do-it-yourself exercise with the Arthritis Toolkit, or managing a chronic condition with Living a Healthy Life.

You can browse our updated class list below. Click your region to jump to the classes near you. Once you find a class you like, just call your Regional Arthritis Center and register today!
