Description

In this episode of the Inspiring Wholeness podcast, presented by AdventHealth in partnership with the Orlando Business Journal, Julie Sexton, vice president of  AdventHealth Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Betsy Hughes, co-owner of Track Shack, discuss moving your body to better health. 

“I'm a physical therapist so the concept of movement is what we are experts in,” Sexton said. “We know staying active and moving is a prevention for many chronic diseases. It also prevents diseases from worsening. The more we can partner and keep our community moving and active, the healthier our community is.”

AdventHealth is the official health care provider of Track Shack’s events. Hughes encourages everyone to participate in them: “Walk, run, jog, stroll, be active, get your exercise for the day,” she said. Track Shack has 16 of its own events, they produce all runDisney events and they were chosen to co-host the Olympic Team Trials Marathon in February.
