Break a sweat with the world’s cheapest workout

Concordia Stingers show students how to stay fit with simple props, part of Financial Literacy Week at Concordia November 18 to 22, 2013, hosted by Student Services.

Buzz was on hand with Concordia Strength and Conditioning coach Lisa-Marie Breton-Lebreux and Stinger athletes to help students learn how to crack a no-cost sweat any time, anywhere – and have fun doing it. Visit the athletics website to see free times at our recreation facilities and access great student rates.
