Ole Miss baseball coach Mike Bianco will lead RebelWell’s Fall Walking Challenge Wednesday. The 30-minute stroll around campus is designed to encourage faculty and staff to be more physically active.
The challenge will begin at 10 a.m. on the Lyceum steps and RebelWell’s registered dietitian Mariana Anaya will be available to answer any nutrition questions.
A survey conducted in 2013 revealed that people who sit for the majority of the day while they are at work are more likely to be depressed and also increase their risk of heart attack. In addition to weekly walks each Wednesday through Nov. 11, the program challenges everyone to log at least 30 minutes of daily physical activity. Participants will be entered into drawings to win gift cards and other prizes. Five winners will be selected and one department will win a healthy catered lunch.
So get out, get moving and win some prizes!
