The Exercise Group begins the first session of its 4th year at Pediatric Therapeutics on April 9, 2015, under the continued therapeutic coaching of Miriam Cohen, PT, DPT, PCS and Carrie Beiter, OT, both of whom are triatheletes and the group’s co-founders.
With the focus on increasing strength and endurance, developing an enjoyment of exercise, and establishing an understanding of the benefits of exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the group is designed so that participants have fun in a supportive social environment. Exercisers meet once weekly for group-based training and continue their training at home following programs developed by Dr. Cohen and Ms. Beiter. These home programs consist of a combination of various aerobic and strengthening exercises, as well as recommendations to promote healthy eating, maintain good hydration, and get optimal rest and sleep at home.
The group will meet on Thursdays from 5:30-6:30 beginning on April 9. It will end with participation in a 5K during the last weekend in June. Please contact either Miriam or Carrie at 973-635-0202, carrie.beiter@pediatrictherapeutics.org or miriam.cohen@pediatrictherapeutics.org to find out more about the group or to sign up.
