The Benefits of Exercise for Those in Recovery

wellstrong.org

Recovering from alcohol or drug addiction is not an easy path. In addition to overcoming cravings, individuals often have to create a new social network, rebuild relationships with family, and pay closer attention to their emotional and physical health. Joining us to discuss the benefits of exercise for those in recovery and options for free exercise classes in our region are: Ben Haas, Outreach Coordinator for WellStrong, a studio in Falmouth offering fitness and wellness classes for people in recovery; and Sydney Durand, Massachusetts Director of Programs for The Phoenix, a free sober active community.

Here's a link to Crossfit in Bourne, also partnering in this project.
