Back to Basics

My name is Sarah Janicek, M.Ed, M.S. I am a health and fitness specialist with Master degrees in Kinesiology and Gerontology. I have worked with various fitness and age populations and am ready to help you – if you want it. I would like to challenge you to take charge of your lifestyle so you can decrease your risk for diseases and improve your strength, fitness and health.

You are very busy working professionals inside the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office - but I will keep you updated on the latest in health, fitness and wellness. I will also help you find easy activities to enjoy throughout your career at the Hennepin Sheriff’s Office and the rest of your life.

So if you’re ready, please take the first challenge: Go BACK TO BASICS where you had to complete as many push-ups as possible to get into the academy and count how many you can do today. Record it on a piece of paper, on your calendar or save it on your computer. Do this every other day for a week. Try to beat the amount of push-ups every time you try it. Make is a contest between your co-workers. I know you have ONE minute of free time. You won’t even break a sweat. I dare you!
