Reasons to take a Spin Class

Why take a spin class?!

1. You'll get the energy you need to give 100 percent the whole workout.

2. You'll push yourself to the max, but no further.

3. You'll get lost pedaling to killer music.

4. You'll get a full-body workout -- not just legs!

5. You'll get used to that sore butt feeling.

6. You'll define and lean out your legs.

7. You'll feel that team spirit.

8. You'll leave feeling euphoric.

Choosing to ride doesn't mean giving up all other exercise and trading in the barbell for spin shoes. But if you're healthy and injury-free, adding cycling into your workout regimen a few times a week can only advance your fitness. And if you've decided that spin is the way you're going to get fit, then don't be scared to fully commit. "No matter which method you choose, Spinning in any capacity is amazing for you," adds Hudoba. "It can only help you better yourself."

Barbecue Season

The warm weather is here and BBQs are around the corner!

Here are some tips on how to save calories at a BBQ:

• Order the hamburger, not the cheeseburger
• Ditch the bun
• Use ketchup instead of mustard
• Eat salad instead of coleslaw or potato/macaroni salad and grab some grilled chicken and cut it up into the salad
• If you know you are going to want a hot dog, hamburger, chicken, and steak, you can have it all- just make sure to take small portions of each

In College? Finals week is near

Being a college student is never easy, but it is ESPECIALLY HARD when FINALS are near.

You've worked your butt off all semester, all year, and now you have to be crushed with assignments, exams, and papers all due within the same week.

You'll be pulling all-nighters, spending days in the library drinking coffee and energy drinks, living a fast and unhealthy life-style.

It's understandable you are going to have to stay up late, but instead of eating Cheez-Its and Domino's Pizza all night, try to plan out some meals for when you'll be on the go and hitting the library. Instead of buying a bagel at the library, get a salad with some protein and a fruit cup for natural energy. You will thank yourself later.
