Athens County • March 25, 2025

​

Good morning, Athens County. January's fitness resolutions may be ancient history by March, but personal trainers at Ohio University are proving that sustainable exercise success doesn't require going it alone. Both the Well-Being and Recreation center and WellWorks offer customized training packages designed to help everyone from marathon hopefuls to weightlifting novices achieve their goals while maintaining proper form and finding unexpected mental health benefits along the way.

As you're working on your fitness journey, campus officials have another health advisory: resist the urge to share your lunch with those adorable deer and squirrels roaming OU's grounds. Wildlife experts warn that human food can cause health problems for animals and potentially lead to aggressive behavior. Instead of feeding campus critters, students might consider feeding their futures at the Spring Internship & Career Fair, where professional connections await those looking to transform classroom knowledge into career opportunities.

Both Ohio University's Well-Being and Recreation center and WellWorks offer training packages at various price points, with experts emphasizing that the mental benefits of regular exercise often outweigh the physical ones.

🦌 Campus wildlife shouldn't be your next dinner date. Ohio University students are being warned against feeding or interacting with the abundant wildlife on campus, including deer, squirrels, and groundhogs. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, feeding wild animals can lead to aggressive behavior and health problems for the animals, who cannot properly digest human foods. Wildlife interactions also pose risks to humans, including potential injuries from bites or charges, and exposure to diseases like rabies. Experts recommend following the "Respect wildlife" principle by maintaining a safe distance and observing animals from afar.
