Do you like to work out?
TheIntramural Department will be offering fitness classes and fund-raising challenges through a benefit developed by the American Cancer Society in celebration of National Recreational Sports and Fitness Day. The event will take place on Feb. 22 at the William H. Pitt Center at 12:15 and 12:45 p.m..
"This is a great idea that will get young people motivated about their own health as well as the health of others," said Kelly Linskey, junior, Seal Beach, Calif.
"The proceeds going to the American Cancer Society is wonderful. All of us have been affected or know someone who has been seriously affected from cancer. Finding cures and having money to do the research is a great thing that people should want to be a part of," said Linskey.
Sacred Heart's Intramural Department is helping to celebrate this day to promote fitness and a healthy lifestyle. They are offering two lunchtime fitness classes and two fundraising challenges through out the day.
"I like how you can participate in these classes with your friends, it makes the day more appealing and it sounds like a lot of fun," said Brianna Raalf, sophomore, East Northport, N.Y.
Classes will be offered at 12:15 and 12:45 p.m.. The first class is a low intensity aerobics class, while the second class will be Pilates. Sacred Heart is offering these two different classes to help get the entire university community involved in this celebration.
"I think celebrating this day is a really good idea. Exercise is very important to me and I know a lot of other people feel the same way. I think National Recreational Sports and Fitness Day is a good combination of most people's interests, working out, and doing it to raise money for a good cause," said Raalf.
Some students are interested in raising their limits with the Cardio Blast challenge or the Bench Press challenge. Finding a sponsor to donate a specified amount of money towards the American Cancer Society for every minute they run, every pushup they do, or every bench press accomplished.
"It's a good idea to celebrate National Recreational Sports and Fitness Day. It gives you that extra motivation to do a few more pushups or to run a little further, because it's not just for you, it's for a cause. That, and it's always nice to push your personal limits every once in awhile. Why not raise some money for something meaningful while doing it?" said Casey Bertollo, junior, Warwick, N.Y.
Interested students and staff can pick up their pledge forms and further information at the Main Lobby, Intramural Office, or the Fish Bowl at the William H. Pitt Center. Checks should be made payable to the American Cancer Society.
