Independent Health will offer a program titled “Body Transformation” to all faculty and staff of the college. This eight-week program is designed for people who currently follow a structured exercise program that incorporates a minimum of moderate intensity resistance training and aerobic activity, or for those who have experience with such programs and want to get in better shape and change their body compositions. The goals of the program are to increase your strength, muscle tone and endurance, while decreasing your percentage of body fat. The Body Transformation program incorporates moderate-intensity aerobic activity, muscle strengthening resistance training and healthy nutrition. A booklet and tracker are included.
Dawn Kordylewski, corporate wellness specialist from the Independent Health Wellness Department, will provide a short introductory presentation each hour followed by body composition assessments (height, weight, BMI, body fat percentage using BIA machine). The body composition assessment will take about 5 minutes.
A final assessment will take place in mid-April. Anyone who loses one percent of body fat or reduces his BMI by one point will be entered into a raffle for prizes.
Sessions for the presentation and assessments will be held:
• Tuesday, February 24, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Library Conference Room
• Wednesday, February 25, 1 p.m.-4 p.m., Library Conference Room
• Thursday, February 26, 1 p.m.-4 p.m., Science Hall Room 1017
