Join a fitness expert on Thursday, September 14th from 4:00pm – 6:00pm to learn about how to add workout to a busy grad school schedule!
How to workout smarter - not harder? - Everyone feels and functions better when they move! Regular activity not only energizes and strengthens our bodies, but it helps our memory, concentration and motivation to study. Let’s talk about fitting more movement into your life to reduce stress and boost learning. This seminar will cover movement guidelines, barriers and solutions to being active and finding out the many exercise options accessible to you as a student. We will even try some exercises together that can be done (almost) anywhere!
