Bingocize

- Capital City Activity Center

Making healthy nutrition choices is something we can always get better at. Also, some physical activity is better than none. We can start by just trying to move more and sit less throughout the day. Over the next 10 weeks together, we will enjoy playing bingo, completing some simple exercises, and learning easy tips to help us eat healthy, cook healthier options, and make healthy choices when grocery shopping.

Free and open to the public.
