The Milwaukee Job Corps Center’s Healthy Eating Active Lifestyles Committee has provided a variety of opportunities for students to get involved in Healthy and Active Initiatives. In January, the committee promoted healthy lifestyle changes. During their lunch hour, students were able to pick from several cards that were printed with healthy lifestyles changes, such as, “I will add two workouts to my week”, “I will drink water every Wednesday instead of sugary drinks” and “I will eat only one portion of dinner and not go back for seconds.” The students wrote their names on the cards and kept them to hang in their dorm rooms. The HEALS Committee also started a new Cardio Fitness Class that is offered twice per week in the evenings to provide the students with additional opportunities to add a little activity to their lives. For the month of February, The HEALS Committee is promoting Healthy Heart Awareness. On Friday February 1st, the students were given heart shaped bracelets to wear to remind them to keep their hearts healthy. During lunch, students and staff did a healthy heart photo shoot to bring continued awareness to the topic. The HEALS Committee is looking forward to promoting healthy and active initiatives to the students and staff throughout the year.
