Tunnel Walk sponsored by getfit
2022-03-30 13:10 - 13:55 (America/New_York) | Lobby 7, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA, 02139, United States
Want to get exercise during the day with others? Join a getfit sponsored tunnel walk for a 45-minute walk led by a volunteer through MIT’s famous tunnel system*. This walk may include stairs/inclines. Wear comfortable shoes. Free.
Tunnel Walk Leaders will have a white flag they will raise at the meeting spot for you to find them.
*When the weather is nice, walk leaders may offer to walk outside rather than through the tunnels. The majority vote of the group will decide whether the walk is indoors or outdoors.
Disclaimer: Tunnel walks are led by volunteers. In the rare occasions when a volunteer isn’t able to make it, we will do our best to notify participants. In the event we are unable to notify participants and a walk leader does not show up, we encourage you to walk as much as you feel comfortable doing so. We encourage you to check the website just before you head out.
getfit is a 12-week fitness challenge for the entire MIT community. These tunnel walks are open to the entire MIT community and you do not need to be a current getfit participant to join.

Does your drive and work ethic power your days– and sometimes keep you up at night? If you’re nodding your head, you know that high achievers aren’t immune to feelings of doubt and anxiety. The good news is that there are ways to strengthen your mental health and well-being. For example, by learning to understand and manage your anxiety, you can decipher what it’s trying to tell you, respond mindfully, and channel your anxious achiever energy into creativity and great work.
Presenter:
Morra Aarons-Mele, host of The Anxious Achiever podcast, helps achievers improve their mental health, promote their own well-being, and stop avoiding their anxiety and learn to thrive because of it. In this session we will discuss:
• How to manage perfectionism, overwork, and other ways anxiety manifests in the workday
• How to set boundaries and limits around your time and energy
• How to find the right balance between networking and heads down work
• How to lower the pressure and find space for creativity and joy
