Try out a free fitness class with a colleague this spring 2015! Did you know you’re more likely to show up – and keep showing up when done with a friend.  A resolution to exercise won’t do you any good unless you actually get started…and then keep it up, even when your motivation lags. The fact that the others in your class, not to mention your instructor, will notice your absence, usually provides enough of a impetus to get people out the door and into the gym. Having that accountability built in is an ideal way to ensure that you actually keep up with your intention to exercise regularly. (source HU Spring 2015 Fitness ClassesYMCA).

Registration begins Monday 2/9 and will include a free 7 day pass to the Walter J. Hawrys Campus Recreation Center.  Contact healthieru@stonybrook.edu for any questions regarding the free fitness classes.

Healthier You Walking Program

The Healthier U walking program kicked off in November 2011 with a series of walks at five locations. The kickoff series was a success, thanks to all of you! In 2013 the program doubled the number of walks from the previous year and expanded to seven locations. For more information, visit the Walking Program page by clicking the tab at the top.
