Batesville, In. — On Tuesday, October 23rd, SLS students visited the campus of IUPUI and were given a 2-hour crash course on the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.
Students were broken into teams of three and each team rotated through a series of 12-minute interactive fitness presentations that examined the positive effects of exercise, common injuries that occur during exercise or sports, a detailed look into how to maintain a healthy weight (calories in equals calories out), healthy eating habits and preventing heart disease, as well as a BodPod (accurate BMI machine) demonstration.
Fitness Center activities included a treadwall (rotating rock-climbing wall), track and agility relays, the use of cardiovascular equipment ellipticals, Arc Trainers, stationary bicycles, and numerous relays. This was a very enjoyable, and informative, field trip for all.
