Student health tip: benefits of
daily exercise
We all know that
exercise does more than improve physical fitness. Both you and your
student can share these benefits of exercise:
Did you know exercise...
improves your mood
combats chronic and hereditary diseases
helps manage your weight
strengthens your heart and lungs
promotes better sleep
reduces stress
promotes positive social interactions
The Recreation Center offers all of
these benefits and more. This tip was provided by
Campus
Recreation Services.
