RecWell Stories
Bryan Bickford
GVSU Staff Member
"I REC for two reasons: First, as a staff member it's a really convenient way to relieve stress and get the blood flowing in the middle of the day. Exercise -- whether I run, play basketball, or do yoga -- clears my mind, gives me time to think, and makes me more creative in my job. I can get 45 minutes of exercise and be back at my desk refreshed and ready for the rest of the day. Reason two is health. When I work out at lunch, I'm not out eating fast food somewhere. I'm trying to live a heart healthy lifestyle and the variety of exercise options at the rec center makes it easier for me to do that. At my age, it's important to keep stretching, jumping, running, and building whatever cardio and muscle I can. Also, after visiting with their school, my three boys also became members and enjoy coming out in the summer to shoot baskets and visit me at lunch. It's another way we stay connected."
