The winter Meet Me @ the Tunnel walks organized by Healthy Emory concluded with great success this past Wednesday! Five people walked over from the Woodruff Library. Walkers got our last Healthy Emory Connect voucher for 100 points to submit to the Virgin Pulse platform. The tunnels are a great option when the day is rainy and cool! These walks also encourage camaraderie – the three women who were part of our group went to lunch afterwards in the medical school cafeteria together. Several participants shared how much they enjoyed these brief outings. The tunnels feature wall designs that offer a nice tour of Georgia history, recipes, quick workouts, and destinations within the state.
If anyone would like to continue walks like these informally, please feel free to contact Jessica.
The Move More Challenge is the next major offering by Health Emory. The challenge begins on March 25th. The LITS Wellness Committee will be offering two zoom webinars, one on March 12 at 9am and one on March 19th at 3pm. These webinars will answer questions about the Healthy Emory Connect app.
