Jessica Alsup is an Associate Professor of Exercise and Sport Science at Fitchburg State University. She has been teaching health, fitness, and wellness courses since 2013 in many formats, including in-person, asynchronous, and hybrid. As a professor of exercise science, Jessica is often teaching students to become future practitioners and thus spends a great deal of time covering theory and practice, but with health, fitness, and wellness courses, she has the opportunity to focus on teaching students how to apply health, fitness and wellness concepts and practices to their life. Over the years, she has developed a health, fitness, and wellness course that focuses on what health and wellness are, the components of wellness, the components of fitness, as well as stress, sleep, and self-care. Her aim is to teach a course that is geared toward the students learning about themselves, making positive health and wellness changes, as well as influencing future behaviors.
