Healthy Active Lifestyles

Accessible fun and fitness for a healthy lifestyle

Healthy Active Lifesyles (HAL) is an initiative supported by the Idaho CDHD that works to improve physical, emotional and social health outcomes for people with disabilities.

Through education, activities and community support, the Project plans and executes easily accessible activities that promote healthy active lifestyles. This includes student-led adaptive movement classes, indoor and outdoor gardening, nature walking and more. All activities are created to be inclusive and welcoming to people of all abilities and fitness levels.

Movement in the Park

Movement in the Park is a no-cost, accessible fitness program planned by the Idaho CDHD and supported by Moscow Parks and Recreation. It provides a physical, emotional and social outlet for people with disabilities through group fitness classes.

Each session runs for approximately one hour and focuses on four areas of the body: arms, legs, core and cardio. All movements and activities can be modified to meet the individual needs of each participant, with adaptive alternatives offered by our student instructors.

People of all abilities and fitness levels are welcome to attend. For more information, please call 208 883 7084.
