Monthly Fit Tip

May-

With the end of the semester fast approaching many students are experiencing a significant increase in stress as they study for finals and complete semester projects.  Similarly many of you, as faculty and staff members, are also experiencing increased stress levels as you prepare final exams, grade countless assignments, or complete your own tasks before the semester ends.  While some stress has been shown to have a positive effect on our productivity and health, significant levels of stress can be harmful and dangerous.  Excessive stress can lead to increases in heart disease and heart attacks, increases in weight gain and obesity, reductions of quality sleep, and many more health related concerns.  Fortunately, regular participation in fitness and/or physical activity can help to prevent or reduce the effects of stress.   Now that you know this, the next time you are feeling stressed take some time out of your day to do something physically active, like going for a walk during lunch or visiting the Pohl Recreation Center.  Furthermore, to help prevent stress before it impacts your health try to follow a regular program of fitness/physical activity throughout the year.
