The College of Health and Human Services, along with the Department of Kinesiology, is pleased to present its second annual “Live Well Lecture” featuring Dr. Barbara Ainsworth, regents’ professor of Exercise Science and Health Promotion in the College of Health Solutions at Arizona State University.

The lecture, titled “Couch Potatoes, Scurriers and Weekend Warriors: How to Enhance Health and Avoid Premature Mortality” will focus on how to avoid inactivity by instead promoting physical activity, health and well-being.
