Recreation Newsletter (Vol.48, December 2024)

December 1, 2024

Hey, UBCO Community!

It can be difficult to stay active during exam season, but it is crucial to help reduce stress and improve focus. Incorporating short bursts of exercise, such as a brisk walk, a quick yoga session, or light stretching, can enhance circulation, boost energy levels, and clear your mind. All of which leads to increased concentration during study sessions and better exam performance. Participating in programs like "Food for Fitness," where you bring non-perishable food items to the front desk at the gym and get free drop-in can be a great way to stay active while supporting the Pantry, the university food bank.

HAPPENING TONIGHT!

Join us for our annual Glow with the Flow on Sunday night with DJ Johnny and Yoga Instructor Josee. We are excited to bring this UBCO Recreation Signature Event to you for FREE. Bring your friends and arrive early to get your glow on! Glow Sticks and body paint are available before the event. Bring a mat or towel for yoga as there are a limited number available the night of the event.
