The Wellness Center
New for November!
November is a no excuses month! It's time to forget about all those excuses for not taking care of your health and well-being. Now is the perfect time to improve your diet or start an exercise routine! Our motivated, trained, friendly staff is here to help you set goals -- and more importantly, to help you reach your goals. Don't let the holidays sneak up on you without a plan to stay active and healthy.
Check out these NEW offerings for November:
Never until November
If you or a friend have never joined the Wellness Center, now is the time! We look forward to helping you get healthier before the year is out. Come alone or bring a buddy! One of our staff will help you get started on a program that fits your needs. Stop by to sign up today!
The best part about Never until November? Anyone who joins the Wellness Center in November and uses the center a minimum of 3 times per week for the month of November will be entered into a drawing to win a Modell's gift card! Current members who bring a new member are eligible too! (New members must sign up by Friday, November 6, 2009 and complete a program orientation to be eligible.)
Desktop Fitness
No time for exercising after work? No excuse. Sign up your department for the Desktop Fitness program. You and your colleagues will learn simple ways to stay active while you're sitting at your desk or standing at the copy machine. We want to keep you fit! Contact Tracy Morin at tmorin@salemstate.edu to set up an appointment.

Back by popular demand, the Lunch Bunch will resume this month! Make the most of your lunch break with an energizing 30-minute walk and then a healthy lunch choice for the next 30. A member of the Wellness Center staff will join the group at 12 noon on Tuesdays and Fridays for a walk around campus (weather permitting). Call 978-542-6551 to sign up!
