Fitness specialist Peter Pellerito of the Center for Healthy Living will present “Live Well: Make the Good Life a Reality,” an introduction to the importance of our everyday choices and the fundamentals of a health-oriented approach to physical activity, at the auditorium in the Durham Research Center. This presentation will provide a variety of unique perspectives on physical activity. Pellerito will also field any questions about the new initiative.
There will also be a second event at the Eppley Science Hall amphitheater from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on March 25.
UNMC’s newest wellness incentive campaign, Everybody. Everyday. aims to inspire individuals to be physically active on a regular basis. All members of the UNMC community are officially invited to enroll in this unique wellness challenge.
A six-week campaign, Everybody. Everyday. will begin on March 31. It challenges participants to establish a routine of intentionally scheduling activity into each week.
The best thing about this challenge? You pick the activity, how long you want to exercise, how hard you want to exercise and when. The emphasis is placed simply on planning a weekly schedule and establishing a frequency of exercising most days of the week.
Along the way, several key pillars of successful behavior change are introduced to further support your efforts to be active daily.
More information will be available at the kickoff events. People who sign up by or on March 25 will receive exercise bands. All individuals who successfully complete the challenge take home a UNMC Everybody. Everyday. Camelbak waterbottle and have a chance to win a pair of athletic shoes or a balance ball chair in a grand prize drawing.
