Students stretch in preperation for their class. Several classes are now being hosted to help students stay healthy.
The Monmouth College Wellness Program and the Trotter Fitness Program are encouraging students to relax, get up and dance, and run for their lives! The group has started several programs that allow students to get in shape, including Muevelo, Yoga, and the Run For Your Life! Project.
According to the Wellness Program?s website, their mission is to ?enhance the healthy development of the mind, body, and spirit of members of the campus community through physical exercise, health and fitness awareness, and recreational activities in a well maintained environment.? They have created several programs for students that encourage these areas of development.
The Run For Your Life program is a semester long program that sets a mileage goal at the beginning of the semester and allows students to complete their predefined mileage by running, biking, or swimming. When their mileage is complete, participants get a free t-shirt.
The Wellness Program is also continuing its Muevelo classes this semester. The class teaches its members how to move and dance to the rhythms of Latin music. Junior Rachel Whitlock took part in a class. She said, ?The class is so fun and really gets you moving. You don?t realize it?s a workout until you feel sore the next day.?
Participants work out to the new dance program hosted by the Wellness and Trotter Fitness Programs
Muevelo runs every Wednesday at 6:30pm. Also running this year is a 4- week Yoga program designed to provide students a relaxing workout. This program runs every Monday at 5pm.
The Trotter Fitness Center also hosts drop- in workshops every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month. During these workshops, students can receive information about a wide range of topics from staying healthy to starting a workout routine.
The Wellness Program continues to put out new programs throughout the year and encourages students to ask questions about any current programs. Students are encouraged to talk to attendants in the Trotter Fitness Center or to email MC Wellness at wellness@monmouthcollege.edu.
