• Developing and engaging in a plan for optimal individual performance with social accountability
• Providing the support and resources to assist people in their efforts to achieve their goals
• Monitoring outcomes and data for continuous improvement

All these options provide an ongoing schedule of physical activity for all students regardless of ability or prior experience. LIFE also boasts walking/running trails throughout the 110-acre campus.
