Energy In Motion

All physical activity programs are "as you are." This means that it is not necessary to change out of your work clothes to take this class. In other words, the sweat factor is low! It is recommended, however, that you wear comfortable shoes. Please contact Allyson at ext. 7779 or wallbridga1@nku.edu to register.

You have 52 days a year to start an exercise program! The Monday Mile is a simple concept to encourage you to start your week with an energizing one-mile walk.. You can do a Monday Mile every Monday!

Did you know that 4 times around Loch Norse (in a figure-eight fashion, crossing the bridge in the middle) is one mile!
