It's Easy, Just Move
Know Better Place in partnership with the Pat and Jim Calhoun Cardiology Center is proud to present a new physical activity campaign called “Just Move.” This is one of the many ways to achieve work life balance.
Physical inactivity is a huge national problem. 70% of American’s don’t get enough physical exercise. That’s true for many of us here at the UConn Health Center. What does that mean?
