American Heart Association Start! Fitness Program
The American Heart Association's Start! Fitness Program
(http://startwalkingnow.org/) is a comprehensive exercise, nutrition and
lifestyle altering initiative that was designed to promote healthy living.
Hundreds of educational institutes, their students, staff and employees have
reaped its quality-of-life promoting benefits and now the Start! program has
been brought to the CCNY Campus.
The Office of Athletics and Recreation, in conjunction with the Division of
Student Affairs, will be holding a brief meeting next Thursday 3/18 at
5:15pm to provide all prospective participants with all of the necessary
information to successfully benefit from this program.
Questions can be directed to gneary@ccny.cuny.edu or
via telephone at Ext. 7551.
I think that's a great program; before we came to the solution for our project (increasing the availability of healthy foods in Harlem), I researched about exercise programs in Harlem and actually didn't find many. In addition, it was stated that over 50% of Harlem's residents don't do any physical activity. So I believe such an exercise program will definitely help in solving the obesity issue and maintaining a healthy body.
ReplyDeleteoh this is just wonderful. CCNY is def taking a multilateral approach to improve its students' health profile. this is impressive
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Hopefully a lot of people go for it! Maybe when they have events, we could do promotions for the Farmers market and Healthy bodega initiative
