Suggested+Sources

When looking for content and sources for the Wiki Collaborations and Class Discussions, you should try to find reputable and reliable sources. This is especially important in our field, where the media throws a lot of contrasting information at us about health, nutrition, and exercise guidelines and statistics!

Here is where we will compile a list of reputable sources for topics relevant to our class. You can use this list to find info for class discussions and collaborations.

I will award you 1 point extra credit for every 2 good sources that you contribute. Also, please indicate what aspect of fitness or wellness that source refers to.
