Wellness Wednesdays: Know Your Numbers for Optimum Health

Interested in finding simple yet impactful ways to weave wellness into your professional and personal life?  If so, please join faculty and staff colleagues for Wellness Wednesdays the first Wednesday of each month (September to June) from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. in the RAC Lobby.  Each session offers information, resources, and/or immersion into different wellness modalities that are supported at UMBC.

Facilitated by John Jancuska, Head Baseball Coach and Physical Education and Recreation Supervisor at the RAC along with other fitness staff members and Mickey Irizarry, Health Education Coordinator with University Health Services, this session will assess the state of your "Cardiorespiratory Fitness," heart health, and body composition.  You will have your cardio respiratory (CR) fitness assessed by utilizing the YMCA 3 Minute Step test.  This is a simple test that persons at all levels of CR fitness should be able to perform.  Blood pressure, body composition, and Body Mass Index (BMI) screenings will also be offered by University Health Services.  If you'd like to participate in the UHS screenings, please refrain from eating or drinking 3-4 hours beforehand.  In addition, this session will include demonstrations of different Cardio activities in the RAC that can be used to achieve and maintain healthy CR conditioning.

Space is limited and registration is required.  Registration deadline is Friday, October 2, 2015.  Register at http://my.umbc.edu/groups/training/events/34847
