What is ExerCYse?
ExerCYse is a Department of Kinesiology Outreach program that is working to advance the global 'Exercise is Medicine' (EIM). The goal of the EIM initiative is to increase visibility about the importance of physical activity and to advance the notion of exercise as a 'vital sign' in the medical community. Visit ExerciseIsMedicine.org to learn more about this important cause. Click here to see an ISU news story about our student-led ExerCYse programming. 
ExerCYse at Iowa State University is officially recognized by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) as an Exercise is Medicine - On Campus (EIM-OC) program. We achieved Silver status in 2017 and are continuing to enhance the program over time and are pushing for Gold designation next. Visit the Kinesiology Outreach link to learn more about the unique vision of EIM-OC and how our group is achieving this vision.
ExerCYse Ambassadors
The ExerCYse program is powered by an ISU Student Group (ExerCYse) that plans, coordinates and promotes a variety of programs and events on campus and in the community. Programming is coordinated by a student-led Leadership Team that plans events and programs on campus and in the community. See the Ambassador Tab to learn more or the Student Org page to get involved (ExerCYse). ExerCYse is Powered by GivePulse
Givepulse is the central Ambassador volunteer hub for all things ExerCYse! This hub provides our Ambassadors with a unique way of signing up to volunteer for events AND it also allows our Ambassadors to track their volunteer service over time! Students interested in ExerCYse should register through GivePulse.com and then join the ExerCYse group.
