--> With the relentless winter weather and midterms in full swing, it’s easy to lose focus at this time of the semester. While you’d probably rather stay inside and catch up on your favorite Netflix show, it’s important to stay focused and finish out the semester strong! If you’re feeling burnt out as we hit the midway point in the semester, follow these simple tips to get back on track: Make a Change in Scenery By this point in the second semester, you’ve probably been following the same routine for quite a while now.

--> What to Expect: Fit3D Body Scan One of the many unique features of the Fitness Center on Victoria Street is the Fit3D body scanner. The Fit3D body scan assessment is a great way to learn more about your body and track your progress.

--> February is American Heart Month! Campus Rec wants to join in and raise awareness about the importance of heart health. The American Heart Association suggests that adults get at least 150 minutes of physical activity each week. That may seem overwhelming to fit into a busy schedule but once broken down, it can be very achievable!

Some benefits of exercising for at least 150 minutes each week can include: ·       Lower risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes ·       Improved quality of sleep ·       Fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety --> ...
