Meet Lea: Exercise science

Image

I joined the exercise science program because I'm really interested in exercise and how the body moves and preventing injuries. In the future I hope to become a physical therapist. 

The body is always moving and exercise is part of our daily activities. You want to stay healthy and well throughout your life.
