Health & Wellbeing

It’s time to put to your walking shoes and join AARP for a fun-filled Saturday event that can help you get in your 10,000 steps in just a few hours. A 5k fun self-guided walk begins at the North Kansas City YMCA, 1999 Iron Street on Saturday, April 23.

Interested in leading others on trips around the region using transit and your ten toes? Well, we’ve got a great opportunity for you!

Looking for an easy way to have better health in the New Year? Then forget about taking drastic action and making massive changes. Having had your fill of holiday sweets may curb temptation for them now, but don’t give into the temptation of strict diets and massive exercise. Extremes will not deliver the better health that you are looking for.

Are you interested in connecting with people who like to hike in the woods? AARP in St. Louis has just the ticket…Outdoor Adventure Group.

What You Need to Know Before You Roll

Have you ever ‘dance-walked’ before? No? Well we have just the opportunity for you! AARP in St. Louis is joining in on the fun with Trailnet for the “Share The Street Party”. We are sponsoring the ‘Dance-Walk’ through the downtown which includes a ‘Boogie @ the Ballpark’ and invite you to join in on the fun!

Geocaching…Hitting the trail at the Sensory Garden…Brunch at Café Osage at Bowood Farms & CWE Shopping. These are perfect ways to spend a Saturday morning in St. Louis this fall with AARP in St. Louis leading the way!

The first of two guided bike rides done in partnership with Trailnet takes place in July. On this first ride, you will learn about St. Louis’ rich musical and cultural history. On July 11 th, the President & CEO of Jazz St. Louis will lead this cycling tour through downtown St. Louis.

Fifty AARP members participated in the St. Louis Senior Olympics as part of Team AARP Memorial Day weekend. All told, Team AARP athletes competed in over 100 different events – everything from Washer Toss to Golf to Pickleball.

If you think that the Kansas City's “Get Off the Couch” walkers stopped just because the program ended, you’re wrong. The program, which began two years ago, has not been repeated, but some members of the walking group in Kansas City, including AARP volunteer Joyce Guess, are still walking and talking.
