Coastal faculty and staff may have different fitness and wellness needs than students. Improving your own personal wellness is important. Here are some quick tips to get you started.
Eat Well
There are multiple healthy options to be found on campus. Save money and take advantage of the meal plan. You may find a beautiful spot on campus to pack a lunch with healthy options.
Add fitness to your routine
University Recreation facilities (The Williams-Brice Physical Education Center, swimming pool, and HTC Recreation Center) are for the use and enjoyment of recreational activities for students, faculty and staff. Find ways to become active doing something you enjoy.
Two minutes of chair yoga - stretching and breathing - can increase your fitness and focus. Go ahead and close your office door and give these a try.
Utilize your Employee Benefits and Discounts
Eligible employees of Coastal Carolina University may participate in a variety of State of South Carolina, as well as University-specific, benefits. Take advantage of discounts offered to CCU faculty and staff by local businesses. Become familiar with these additional resources offered.
