Twist that torso in a hula-hoop workout, sign up for I ♥ Walking week and more at the Healthy Campus Launch Fair this Monday, Jan. 28, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Collins Court at the John Wooden Recreation Center. The event celebrates UCLA's new campuswide initiative to promote healthy lifestyles among faculty, staff and students.
 
The fair's featured event — remarks from Chancellor Gene Block and a hula-hoop workout and giveaway for the first 200 participants — begins at noon. The fair will also include interactive demonstrations and information on the wide range of programs and opportunities offered by UCLA Recreation. Visitors will be eligible for a variety of prize drawings and giveaways. Admission is free, and the event is open to the entire campus.
 
"This initiative is about helping members of the campus community and beyond make informed choices," Chancellor Block said. "Whether it's about diet, exercise, transportation or sustainability, our goal is to leverage our unique strengths in health sciences and as a leading research university to encourage healthier outcomes for individuals and for society as a whole."
