Come Back Fit, New Orleans
The New Orleans Public Library plans on offering a varied and wide-reaching program that will provide health information to people throughout Orleans Parish and the surrounding areas. The goal of the program is to make people aware of different types of exercise and health options that are fun and available to people of all ages and financial statuses. The following activities will be a part of the Come Back Fit, New Orleans program: training users to navigate health databases; Dance Dance Revolution challenges; community health fair; yoga classes; heart healthy gumbo cooking and local food history demonstration; Dancing Hands and Singing Feet – a history of Louisiana music and dance program for young people that encourages active audience participation; a fitness walk with free pedometers for every participant; a Game On! The Ultimate Wellness Challenge field day. There will be handouts available at each event, focusing on the health aspects of each program. Many of the programs will also have healthy refreshments available.
