Campus Recreation and the National Fitness Campaign (NFC) partnered together to expand the reach of fitness opportunities at Nebraska with the installation of the new state-of-the-art outside functional fitness area at the corner of 17th and R Streets (north of the Delta Gamma house and east of Knoll Residence Complex).

An official launch party is 5 p.m. Tuesday, August 27. Students are invited to stop by for a workout and a chance for giveaways. Campus Rec staff will be on-hand to demonstrate the circuit-training system and how students can achieve a full-body workout in as little as seven minutes.

NFC’s “7 Movements in 7 Minutes” is a simple yet powerful workout created for a range of athletic abilities, and is optimally performed on the Fitness Court. Developed by experts in the field, each exercise takes 45 seconds, with a 15-second interlude between sets, and is shown to burn more calories per minute than most other forms of exercise.

The Fitness Court area is open and students are free to use the space when they wish. The NFC Fitness Court app can be downloaded from Apple or Google Play stores https://nationalfitnesscampaign.com/app.
