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.

Here’s the event that’s a perfect fit for our Healthier U community. Now you can take part in a 5K run/walk that contributes to your health and well-being while helping Stony Brook Children’s Hospital. 
Known as the “Best Office Party of the Summer,” the evening begins with a 5K run/walk through local streets and ends inside Bethpage Ballpark for a celebration that includes music, food and fun. Registration (at www.corporatefunrun.com) is $40 per person, with 10 percent of that benefiting Stony Brook Children’s. Additional fundraising by teams or individuals (via http://corporatefunrun.stonybrookchildrensevents.org) will further support Stony Brook Children’s.
