Intramural-Recreational Sports It is that time of year that everyone is thinking about their health! Take this opportunity to check out the programs, services and facilities in the Intramural Recreational Sports Department. Find one or two opportunities to enhance your health in a positive way. The information on pages 2-22 and the calendars on pages 23-27 will help you keep a healthy schedule throughout the semester. This semester I would like to challenge you to get outside your box and take advantage of wellness opportunities here on campus! Brian Tracy says, “You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.� As a wellness enthusiast, I advocate for you to learn more about yourself and a healthier lifestyle. Here are some tips to help get you out of your comfort zone: -Try a GroupX class instead of working out on a cardio machine in the Fitness Center. This is great way to change your exercise program and be in a fun, social and accountable environment. -Grab some friends and register for an intramural sport. Try a sports club too! -Enjoy running or walking? Take it up to the next level and sign up for a 5K or other races in the community. -First time walking into the Preston Center? Hang a left and stop by the Health & Fitness Lab for an assessment and/or exercise consultation. -Did you know that Kentucky has a wonderful outdoor community? Our ORAC program has many one day to week long trips that allow you to experience nature. When you try new things and get outside your comfort zone, there are so many benefits. Some benefits include learning something new about yourself and others, connecting with people, stress release, and a new type of motivation. I encourage you to get connected at WKU outside the classroom. The Raymond B. Preston Health & Activities Center is a fantastic place on campus for the WKU community. Whatever you choose to take on this semester in regards to recreation, outdoor recreation, fitness, or wellness, our professional and student staff are here to help you! Enjoy your day, Alissa Arnold Student Wellness Coordinator
