Exercise is Medicine®*

Exercise is Medicine® (EIM) is a national initiative that encourages colleges and universities to promote physical activity as a key component of overall health. At TU Campus Recreation, we are committed to making movement a part of everyday life on campus. 

Our goals with EIM:

  • Embed physical activity into the daily campus culture.
  • Assess physical activity as a vital sign during student health visits.
  • Provide students with resources to develop lifelong healthy habits.
  • Connect campus health care providers with fitness professionals for exercise referrals and prescriptions.

Physical Activity Guidelines:

All healthy adults (ages 18–65) should aim for:

  • At least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 5 days per week, or at least 20 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, 3 days per week.

Benefits of Regular Physical Activity: 

  • Improved Focus: Exercise boosts brain function and concentration
  • Elevated Mood & Lower Stress: Movement helps manage stress and supports emotional well-being
  • Increased Energy: Regular physical activity fights fatigue and promotes alertness
  • Sharper Memory: Physical activity supports cognitive health and memory retention
