Jennifer Cruickshank – Central Oregon Community College
We were fortunate to receive a special message from Jennifer Cruickshank, associate professor of health and human performance at Central Oregon Community College, where she teaches sports psychology, wellness coaching, exercise science classes and fitness classes. She is also a national board-certified wellness coach. Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard from guests who shared how much their physical well-being factors into their emotional state, but now, Jennifer takes us on a deeper dive into the relationship between the two.
Follow along her very practical advice and demo (6:31) for movement that can be done by any beginner and can benefit even advanced athletes. She offers insight from evidence-based research (Jennifer is happy to answer questions or share research upon request at: jcruickshank@cocc.edu) that shows how moving our bodies is the #1 way to change mindset and how it helps grow more neurons and pathways in our brain! And if you think you don’t have the time in your day to fit in some movement, she’ll help you find that, too. Let’s get moving!
