The UFit 4.0 Workout
Students have the option of using the free U-Fit4.0 exercise program or complete their own workouts. The UFit 4.0 Workout is a strength and conditioning program constructed to improve several aspects of physical health including: work capacity, heart rate, range of motion at all major joints, and overall strength. The program will fit any consistent diet plan, whether your goal is to maintain your weight, build muscle, or to lose fat. Each month you will face a different stimulus to both improve results and keep the program interesting. To see the UFit 4.0 Workout, visit urec.wsu.edu/fitness/aswsu-ufit-40/. The UFit 4.0 Workout has links to videos and descriptions of all the exercises listed and can be easily accessed from your phone.
