Self-Care Corner: Summer Fitness

Self-Care Corner: Summer Fitness

Exercise is important for self-care, and summer’s longer days and warmer temperatures provide lots of opportunities to stay active.

Try a water-based workout, such as swimming laps or participating in our Water Aerobics classes every Wednesday at the Wildcat Pool. For fun with friends, try a boot camp or an outdoor yoga or dance class.

An evening walk under a stunning summer sunset is healthy for both your body and mind.

XXXIII 2024 Summer Olympics

XXXIII 2024 Summer Olympics

The 2024 Summer Olympics are scheduled to begin this month in Paris.

A unique opening ceremony is planned for July 26. For the first time, the ceremony will take place outside of a stadium, allowing thousands of spectators to freely attend. Olympic athletes will ride a boat along the Seine, passing famous landmarks such as the Louvre Museum and the Notre-Dame cathedral, and stop in front of the Trocadéro, a complex of gardens and museums across from the Eiffel Tower.

Around 10,500 athletes from over 200 countries will compete in 45 sports, including the newly added breakdancing (officially referred to as “breaking”). Winning an Olympic medal is always a huge honor, and this year, victors also get to take home a piece of French history. Each bronze, silver, and gold medal is embedded with iron from the original construction of the Eiffel Tower.
