Complimentary Exercise Class

with MBJCC Personal Trainer

Brooks Blackert

How Movement Improves Circulation and Reduces Risk in Sedentary Adults

Join us for a special complimentary session with MBJCC personal trainer Brooks Blackert as he shares how movement can play a major role in improving circulation and reducing long-term health risks in sedentary adults.

Brooks will discuss how poor circulation can lead to issues like blood clots, joint stiffness, and fatigue, and how incorporating simple daily movement—such as walking, mobility drills, and light strength exercises—can make a meaningful difference.

You'll also learn practical, low-impact exercises that anyone can start with, no matter your fitness level.

This is a great opportunity to take control of your health and learn how small, consistent actions can help prevent serious health problems.
