Move Your Way – ODP Celebrated Sports & Fitness Month with Erie Athletics

The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) celebrated Sports & Fitness Month with Erie Athletics, Erie’s adult Special Olympics chapter.

In May, ODP joined Erie Athletics team members Dion, Mary Ellen, Roy, Nicole, and their coach, Natalie, for track and field practice where they worked on javelin, shotput, standing long jump, and distance running events.

Move your way this summer!

Anything that gets your heart beating faster counts. And it all adds up.

Find what works for you! Walking, dancing, gardening, swimming, and stretching are just a few suggestions for weekly movement.

Adults need a mix of physical activity to stay healthy.  Moderate-intensity aerobic activity at least 150 minutes a week, and muscle-strengthening activity at least 2 days a week. Do activities that make your muscles work harder than usual.
