Hi there, my name is Kiet Tran and I’m the guy behind this blog. My official role is the Director of Health, Fitness & Recreation (HFR) Program at The College Preparatory School. I created this blog as a means to supplement the HFR program with pertinent articles, news, and mostly to share with our community some of the HFR adventures. Enjoy!
Well • ness [wel-nis] –noun
1. The quality or state of being healthy in body and mind, esp. as the result of deliberate effort.
2. An approach to healthcare that emphasizes preventing illness and prolonging life, as opposed to emphasizing treating diseases.
The definition of wellness best sums the philosophy of the Health, Fitness & Recreation Program. Students are encouraged to make health and fitness a life-long goal and to seek recreational activities that are both fun and physically rewarding. The program serves to empower students to be responsible for their own health and fitness, and the program encourages students to set goals and participate. In doing so, the student will hopefully benefit from what it means to being well.
In keeping with the above philosophy, the Health, Fitness & Recreation Program offers the student both choices and autonomy when incorporating exercise into his or her daily routine.
