The 2016 Outtake Video

Thank you all for following along with us for another year of health and wellness! Once again, we’ve had an outstanding time traveling around our beautiful state this year spreading Wellness education, getting to know you better, and hearing some amazing stories about how healthy behaviors have led to better health and quality of life.

One thing we really enjoyed this year was stepping up our short video production. We received a lot of excellent feedback from you guys about them, and one thing many of you seemed to like were the outtakes or post-scripts at the conclusions of the videos.

So…here is your holiday gift from us! This is all the funny stuff that didn’t make the final cuts (and there’s a lot). Thank you all so much for following along, keeping it fun, and letting us be ourselves! Much more to come in 2017!

P.S. This outtake video is rated PG  🙂

The Amazing M.E.T.

No, not the baseball team from New York…today we’re learning about Metabolic Equivalents, which sounds either nerdy or boring, but Neal makes them fun in the latest video from Montana Moves. Learning about the amazing M.E.T. gives you another tool to use, especially when you’re resigned to indoor cardio, as many of us here in Montana were this week!

  3. Roasting is a simple preparation method.

One Heck of a Commute!

Last week, Dan Dobyns, Workforce Navigator from Helena College, visited with us about his commute to work. Dan led all Montana Riders last year as part of the National Bike Challenge, logging 7711 miles last summer. Click on the video link below to hear Dan’s story!

Interview with Dan Dobyns from Montana University Sys. Wellness on Vimeo.

The National Bike Challenge allows you to log your bike miles all summer long, and you don’t have to ride 40 miles a day to participate. Participants receive 20 points each day they ride, plus a point per mile, so it’s all about riding consistently!

To join, go to nationalbikechallenge.org, and join one of our MUS Wellness teams (EAST or WEST), then start tracking your miles. It’s a tight race thus far, as our teams are 1-2 in Montana!
