Good Afternoon,

 

I wanted to share a new offering for students to help them begin and/or maintain a physically active lifestyle, ACTIVE Spartans Virtual Exercise Prescription (VEP). With VEP a specific exercise routine will be designed based off the students current space, equipment availability and fitness level. This is a free opportunity for students and no referral is needed. You can just send them to our website, to learn more and register, https://healthpromotion.msu.edu/fitness/index.html.

 

• VEP is a one-on-one session with a Certified Personal Trainer (coach). The session is a one-time free appointment, that will last anywhere from 45 to 60 minutes.
• Coaches will guide students through their VEP, demonstrating proper exercise form and technique. Students will be able to interact with their coach to reflect upon any questions they have throughout their session.
• At the end of the session, a personalized goal-oriented plan will be created. Coaches will provide follow-up motivation, accountability and check-ins via email to further support the student.

 

Due to COVID-19, our ACTIVE Spartans Physical Activity Mentor Program is suspended at this time, we hope VEP can fill that void. This opportunity can provide support for students who are engaging in exercise for the first time, redefining what a healthy relationship with exercise looks like or using exercise to improve your mood, stress management, or coping skills. 

 

Please let me know if you have any questions,
