This post is to support members of Anne Arundel Community College's Get Real Wellness Program & Accountability Group. Below you'll find links and resources related to our third in-person meeting, dedicated to building a better plate.
Module Description: Movement doesn’t have to mean “go to the gym”. We’ll talk about creating a movement plan that fits your needs and schedule, that leaves you feeling strong and energized, not zonked and flattened.
