Getting Active

Play and exercise is an important part of life! Getting in tune with yourbody helps keep you balanced physically, emotionally and psychologically. Movement is also good for your brain. Studies even suggest that the parts of the brain that control thinking and memory are enhanced in people who are regularly regularly. Make the time to engage your body in physical activity every day.

AS A STUDENT, reflect on what feels good for your body and how you can make physical activity a regular part of your student life.
