Wellness Wednesday: ‘Fitness Fridays’ begin this week

Limber up, UNMC.

This week, a new wellness initiative called Fitness Friday will begin.

The monthly events, held on the Scott Student Plaza, will kick off at 3 p.m. Friday with a yoga workshop led by UNMC’s own Jeri Brittin.

Fitness-related activities will be held on two Fridays each month, running between 30 and 60 minutes. Information on future Fitness Fridays will be available at the first event.

“We are excited to bring this new wellness initiative to UNMC employees and students, and the Scott Student Plaza provides a beautiful outdoor venue for our first event,” said Anna Kirshenbaum, UNMC special events associate. “We hope to offer a variety of fitness activities going forward, including sessions such as Zumba, Pilates, free weights or simply a walk around campus.”

Please RSVP if you are able to attend, have ideas for future Fitness Friday activities or are interested in receiving emails about future Fitness Friday events. Space is limited.
