Sign Up For April-June Session Of MOVE!,
Free Exercise Program For Veterans

The next session of MOVE!, a proven fitness and weight management program for veterans, will be held April 15-June 6 at Fusion Fitness & Aquatics. The program, sponsored by Hillsboro Area Hospital, is free to all military veterans in the community.

Classes will be held 9-10 am on Tuesdays and Fridays. The Hospital provides each participating veteran with a pedometer and a punch card that allows 25 visits to Fusion. Physical assessments of participants will be conducted Tuesdays and Fridays from April 1 to April 11.

In addition to fitness exercises, the veterans will be introduced to various topics, including Healthy Plate, Pedometer Usage, Good Nutrition, Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise, Restaurant Tips, Stress Management, Food and Activity Journaling.

MOVE! was designed by the VHA National Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (NCP), a part of the Office of Patient Care Services. The goal is to help veterans lose weight, keep it off and improve their health.

Instructor Jennifer (Harms) Putnam brings both military and fitness experience to the MOVE! program. A certifiedpersonal trainer and former aquatics coordinator at Fusion, Putnam served as an Air National Guard staff sergeant and journeyman in the readiness career field (nuclear, biological and chemical warfare). She was deployed overseas twice, to Iraq and Qatar. Jennifer is married to Daniel Putnam, and in recent years was a stay-at-home mom with their two young daughters.
