Wellness Wednesday: Walking toward fitness

Each week during the Everybody. Everyday. program, there will be an optional campus group activity.

This week, join Peter Pellerito of the Center for Healthy Living for a campus walk at noon on Thursday, beginning by the ice skating rink. (Those not registered for Everybody. Everyday. are welcome to join, as well.)

For those scheduling the weeks ahead, be aware that Wednesday, April 30 is Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska’s 8th Annual Walk at Lunch Day.

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. challenges participants to establish a routine of intentionally scheduling activity into each week.

Registration is still being accepted for the event. For more information or to register, fill out this form and return it to Jayme Nekuda or Peter Pellerito. For questions, call Pellerito at 9-5253.

In the event of inclement weather, an email will be sent to participants with an alternative activity. People who want to join the walk but are not yet registered for Everybody. Everyday. can call 9-5254, the CFHL front desk, on Thursday if the weather looks questionable to confirm that hte walk is taking place.
