Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
The Owsley County Extension Service partnered with the Owsley County Recreation Center to provide nutrition information and the importance of staying physically active. The program had an original time to last eight weeks. Eight weeks came and went and the participants continue after three months into the program. Ages range from early twenties to mid-eighties. Grandparents participate while the grandchildren play in the adjoining gym.
After months in the program with nutritional changes and routine exercise, participants have reported a change in their daily energy level, change in their joint and muscle movement and a change in their medication that they no longer require. When asked why they want to continue their comment is “Cause we Can”.
