Bridging the Gap Between Fandom and Fitness

Room 201 - 202

Saturday July 6, 2019 - 12:15 pm to 1:15 pm


For many the words “Fandom” and “Fitness” seem like unrelated concepts. Yet both of these respective communities share many of the same positive qualities that promote mental and physical well-being. Join Abilio Rodriguez (Physical Therapist, creator of Nerds and Wellness) at this lecture/open discussion as we attempt to bridge this gap between fandom and fitness. Topics covered will include: how to start an exercise program, basic nutritional concepts, fitness in cosplay, mitigating burnout/self-doubt/and stress, and anything our audience would like to explore.
