OU Fitness and Recreation launches new program

See the healthy habit tips at the Shift Gears website.

In a state where health statistics show room for improvement, one OU department is implementing a program to encourage and teach students to stay healthy and active.

OU Fitness and Recreation created the Shift Gears Program, which uses social media and other venues to give tips to promote healthy habits.

One of our hopes and aspirations is that when students come to OU and they spend their education time with us, that theyre not only learning their academics in the classroom, but theyre also learning a healthy way of life that theyll take with them beyond college, said Amy Davenport, the director of OU Fitness and Recreation.

The Shift Gears team includes the fitness and recreation director, instructors and graduate students, and also has been teaming up with UOSA members, Davenport said.

The program has pages on Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare, where it lists tips for a different healthy habit every two weeks.

While we want people to come to the [Huston Huffman Fitness Center] and come to the intramurals, we understand that people cant do that every day," Davenport said. "This is a great way for them to stay in touch and really still be a part of their health and wellness every single day. Its kind of expanding our doors out, which is exciting.

The first habit the program promoted, called the Stop the All or Nothing Mentality, began Aug. 27, according to the OU Fitness and Recreation website. It began promoting the next habit, which encouraged students to drink eight glasses of water a day, Sept. 10
