Movement for Mental Health
Brought to you by:
The benefits of physical activity are present in all aspects of our lives, and the evidence that movement is good for mental health is overwhelming. Physical activity is correlated with mental health, happiness, contentment, and confidence. Put simply, movement is good for your body and your mind. That's why CAPS and Campus Recreation have partnered to create Fitness Training Orientation.
This trainer-led fitness training—consisting of 3 to 8 students—is ideal for those interested in learning a variety of methods of fitness, including equipment usage, goals planning, and workout program design.
The program is geared toward beginners who may feel intimidated by the gym and who want to gain some comfort to help obtain their wellbeing goals. It is also a good opportunity to connect with other students and build motivation to establish a regular exercise program.
In Fitness Training Orientation, you will:
- participate in structured exercise
- gain the tools you need to create your own exercise program
- use a range of equipment
- learn to reach your wellness goals
