Users of the Kraemer Family Library\u2019s new fitness study stations will enjoy this view.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fitness fans will soon have the option to\u00a0exercise while they study. The Kraemer Family Library purchased two fitness study stations after being awarded a Green Action Fund grant. The stations include a low-speed exercise bike and a low-speed treadmill.<\/p>\n

The Green Action Fund provided more than $4,000 to cover the cost of the treadmill and bike base, adjustable desk frames, two desktops, mats and maintenance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to meet student needs in new, creative ways,\u201d said Molly Mulligan, electronic resources acquisitions professional, Kraemer Family Library.<\/p>\n

The low-impact treadmill, which can reach speeds of two miles per hour, and a study bike will be located on the second floor library apse. The library\u00a0 chose the location to avoid quiet study areas and to show off the view of Pikes Peak.<\/p>\n

The library plans to host a launch party 10 – 11 a.m. March 2, contingent on equipment delivery. There will be healthy snacks, and students will have the chance to test out the stations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to make the connection between the active mind and body, where movement can stimulate creativity,\u201d said Mulligan.<\/p>\n

She also hopes the new equipment will increase interest in sustainable transportation methods such as walking and bicycling.<\/p>\n

Students, faculty, and staff will be able to use the stations on a first-come, first-served basis. Users will be able to put stickers on a board next to the equipment they used to help track usage. There will also be a basket with paper to leave additional feedback.<\/p>\n

The library will evaluate the feedback to determine the future of the fitness study\u00a0stations in the library.<\/p>\n
