Health guidelines set
Students are becoming
increasingly aware
of the Nutrition and Health
Guidelines, which include
exercising 30 minutes a day

University students aiming for a
healthier lifestyle might have to get off
the couch and make a few more trips
to the gym, according to recent Nutri
tion and Health Guidelines published
by the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services.
The guidelines recommend that
adults participate in a minimum of 30
minutes of moderate physical activi
ty, seven days a week, in order to
maintain a healthy weight and remain
in good health. Children should be
getting an hour of exercise a day.
“You need to have your heart rate
elevated for a full half hour to realize
the benefits,” said Dr. Christopher
Minson, an assistant professor in the
University’s exercise and movement
science department. “A lot of people
see 30 minutes and they do 10 min
utes of warm-up, 10 minutes of activi
ty and 10 minutes of cooldown.”
Minson is concerned that the new
guidelines may act as a deterrent for
many people trying to get in shape.
Also, he said that the American Col
lege of Sports Medicine does not nec
essarily agree with the government
recommendations.
“Most people just don’t have the
time to exercise more,” he said. “The
guidelines may make people feel like
they are unable to exercise. It is more
important that people get out there
and exercise as many days a week as
they can instead of worrying about go
ing every day of the week.”
A daily routine that includes
moderate physical exercise may re
duce the risk of heart disease as
well as other cardiac and respirato
ry problems. Acceptable physical
activities for adults include fast
paced walking, jogging, cycling,
aerobics, swimming and water aer
obics, tennis and basketball.
The DHHS guidelines state that
the exercise need not take place all
at one time but can be broken up

working out and loves to play basketball and ultimate Frisbee.
into manageable time periods
throughout the day.
University Student Recreation and
Fitness Center employee Hanna
Jones said she sees that many stu
dents are willing to make time in their
days for working out.
“It’s used a lot during the day,”
she said. “We basically offer every
thing here, and there is always
something to do.”
Records of student use show that
more than 64 percent of University
undergraduates and 40 percent of
graduate students used the rec center
during fall term. The majority of stu
dents use the rec center Monday
through Thursday, taking the week
ends off to recuperate.
Students at the University can take
part in the rec center’s services by
signing up for classes out of the
schedule of classes, purchasing a
punch card and participating in drop
in classes, or working out on an indi
vidual basis.
“I feel that it’s a high-use area for
the students,” rec center Assistant Di
rector of Operations Molly Kennedy
said. “I think that this campus is very
much aware of their bodies, and con
scious of health problems associated
with a lack of exercise.”
Winter hours for the rec center are
6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through
Friday, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday,
and noon to 11 p.m. Sunday.
