Looking for an Exercise Partner?
Do you like to walk, jog, lift weights, work out in the Fitness Education Center, swim, kayak, play sports, line dance, etc.? Exercising is much more fun when done with another person. Statistics have shown that those who exercise with at least one other person are 85% more likely to exercise regularly and will stay committed to being active more so than if they had exercised on their own. If you would like to find an exercise buddy, go to: 2011sitearchive.lanecc.edu/wellness/partner.htm
