| Publisher Description: This research project addressed women's wellness. Many women experience physical and mental health issues related to a lack of physical activity or psychological support. Women's Fitness Week was offered to women of the University of Akron and the outside community, providing opportunities to learn more about and improve upon the various dimensions of wellness - emotional, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational, physical, social/cultural, and spiritual. Events were held at the University's Student Recreation and Wellness Center and encompassed topics such as nutrition, weight training, and self-defense. The goals of the program were: increase knowledge levels of fitness, health, and wellness, increase confidence levels, increase comfort levels at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center, and ultimately give females the ability to take initiative and ownership of their health and fitness lifestyles and goals. This paper highlights the planning process, the main components of the program, and important conclusions and findings. |
