Come Out and Play!
Thank you for participating in our week of fitness classes.

OHSU Center for Women’s Health celebrated National Women’s Health Week by offering fun events to help jump start the physical activity in your life.

Kickoff event May 11, 2009 - Free Fitness Classes All Week

We kicked off the week on May 11 with a motivational presentation from Britta Torgrimson, Ph.D., about the many health benefits of exercise (hint – there are probably more than you know about!).

Throughout the week, complimentary fitness classes were held at different locations throughout the Portland metro area. Classes included: Chi Qigong, Yoga, Aqua Aerobics and more! Classes are inclusive for people with and without disabilities.

Thank you again to our sponsors and participants for making this such a success.
