Our REACH Coordinator Vincent Hill recently collaborated with Eskenazi Health's Black K.A.R.E. program to create this outdoor or at-home warm-up routine!

Black K.A.R.E. stands for Kidney Awareness, Resources & Education, which is a project focused on increasing the awareness and prevention efforts regarding chronic kidney disease. This exercise video can be used in concert with the tactical urbanism installations at Frederick Douglass and Washington Parks in Indianapolis. Watch the video here!
