Spring “Poker” Walk for Fitness April 15

Did you know…Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise per day, (like walking), can: cut your risk of heart disease by 30%; reduce your risk of hypertension, diabetes and colon cancer by 30%; reduce body fat by an average of 18%; and eliminate undue stress. Therefore, you are encouraged to participate in the….“Poker” Walk for Fitness Thursday, April 15 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The objective is to walk to each of the 7 (seven) MSUM departments listed below, draw a card at each, and try to acquire the best poker hand. NOTE: The best 5 out of 7 or 9 cards can be used… Jokers are wild!  Prizes will be awarded for the top 3 hands. BONUS: Pick a daisy or tulip in HR for a chance at up to 3 bonus cards!
