Working Out Before a Class Can Help Your Grades

Research shows that exercise increases neurotransmitter production in your brain which enhances your ability to focus and increases memory. Learning Community: Fit for life, smart for life is a great way to increase your overall health and wellness and boost your math grades at the same time. In each learning community, an academic class is linked with a fitness class, so you will need to register for one section from each subject. 

This learning community is not offered in the Fall 2020 semester. Check back for updates on when these classes will be offered or contact Shelly Pierson for more information.
