MaineStreamers has partnered with Bethany Terrace Retirement Community, Golf Mill Shopping Center, and Partners in Health to offer the "Feats of Fitness" walking program. Golf Mill Shopping Center offers a warm, safe place for residents to walk Mondays through Saturdays from 8-10 AM prior to the mall opening for business. Along with encouraging walking, a health seminar and blood pressure screenings will take place every second Wednesday of the month from 9-10 AM in the center court. This program is a great example of community partnership.

Each participant will receive giveaways, refreshments, and a "Feats of Fitness" t-shirt. Each month the person giving the health lecture will provide giveaways and refreshments. There is very little cost except for the one-time purchase of the t-shirt. The program also has a registration process including a liability waiver and a chart for blood pressure tracking and healthy tips. For example, did you know on average, every minute of walking can extend your life by 1.5 to 2 minutes. That's about a 2 for 1 trade off!
