Welcome to the home page of James N. Wright, Instructor of Health and Physical Education, Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist (American College of Sports Medicine.)

Fit-Tips

Fit Tips are short educational, inspirational, and motivational pieces on various aspects of health and fitness. Topics cover a range of categories from nutrition to exercise to supplements to heart disease and medicine, and especially target topics of current interest.

I always welcome comments on the fit-tips, as well as suggestions for future topics!

Video Tips

Video Tips are brief (1-3 minute) easy-to-follow clips which will take you through a variety of exercises and other fitness activities. Topics range from relaxation to basic fitness to injury prevention and rehabilitation, and all can be done in virtually any location with no special equipment!

Student Weekly Fit Tips

This section contains brief articles on various aspects of health and fitness that have particular relevance to students! These articles originally appeared in the "BRCC Weekly" but are stored here for your periodic reference and, hopefully, continued enjoyment and benefit!

If, as a student or not, you would like to see other topics addressed, just submit them via e-mail to wrightj@brcc.edu.
