Walk Program

 Step it Up, Sooners!

Take Recess!

 Do you remember when leaving your desk to go exercise was called recess?

 Well, RECESS is back!

Tuesday and Thursday

August 5 – August 28 (8 classes)

First class meets in front of the Robert M. Bird Health Sciences Library

4:15 pm -5:00 pm

 

Exercise does not have to be difficult or inconvenient. 

In fact, it is right outside your office door.

 

This is a great class for first time participants who are curious about starting a walking program. Or for those individuals who are experienced walkers.

 

Come and experience how walking will strengthen your heart, lungs, muscles and bones, reduce stress, improve your overall sense of well-being and contributes to a healthy lifestyle.  It has proven to reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes and some cancers.

 

In addition, it is fun! 

 

So, come out and walk at recess with your co-workers!

 

 

  • There will be no costs associated with the Walking Program
