Cold Weather Wardrobe Safety
Along with the fallen leaves and daylight saving change comes falling temperatures. You've begun to notice the cooler air during your outdoor runs or club/intramural practices. While you may be reaching for your hoodies and hats, there are others who opt to practice in close to freezing temperatures wearing only a T-shirt and shorts! Learn about common cold injuries and illnesses you can prevent with some tips from our head Athletic Trainer, Alysia Henderson.
Spring 2022 Group Fitness Schedule
Balancing your life during the winter period is never easy. Finding time for any form of exercise between study sessions and cold weather is important while maintaining focus, keeping your energy levels high, and managing your stress. Our Spring 2022 Group Fitness Schedule goes live January 24 - May 10. Between zumba, boxing, cycle, and more, explore both in person and virtual options to choose from >>
Add Gentle Cardio to your Routine
Swimming is a wonderful full body workout and a helpful option for those who want low-impact exercises that will still get your heart rate up. It is a good year round activity because it takes some of impact stress off your body while still allowing you to build endurance, muscle strength, as well as cardiovascular fitness. Reserve a lap lane with RecWell in our 50 meter or our more shallow and heated instructional pool.

Enjoy unlimited access to all campus gyms, the indoor and outdoor pools, intramural sport leagues and tournaments, the climbing wall, bike shop, and over 100 drop-in group fitness classes every week!
