Based on the results, receive a personalized plan for an exercise program to meet your goals. Cost is 35 Wellness Dollars, a savings of 10 Wellness Dollars Winter strength training A noontime lecture/demonstration of simple and effective muscle toning exercises will be offered from 12:10-12:50 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 25, in 126 Alfred Lerner Hall. Linda Smith, program coordinator and exercise physiologist, will highlight the use of exercise bands as a convenient way to improve muscle strength without going to a gym or using weights. “While the New Year is a time for many to begin exercising more, bad weather or the demands of work and family can prevent many people from working out in a gym,” Smith said. “Our goal is to show employees how easy it can be to improve their muscle strength using exercise bands.” Participants will receive a free exercise band and illustrated workout guide, and there will be a drawing for a gift certificate for two for brunch, donated by the Inn at Mendenhall. Cost is 10 Wellness Dollars. |
