Faculty/Staff Discounts
Freewheel Bike Shop (two locations in Minneapolis): faculty and staff receive 10% discount off accessories and labor
Run-n-Fun (locations in St. Paul and Eden Prairie): faculty and staff receive 20% off retail price for shoes, 25% off clothing, and on "Augsburg Shopping Weekends," those discounts go up to 25% and 30% respectively.
It takes about 12 weeks after starting an exercise program to see measurable changes in your body. However, before 12 weeks, you will notice an increase in your strength and endurance.
Studies have suggested that walking at a brisk pace for three or more hours a week can reduce your risk for coronary heart disease by 65 percent.
