4 P A G E 4 Interested in a Personal Trainer? There is currently no wait list! Visit: edu/personaltrainer Tips From the Trainer Spring into Shape Spring is finally upon us and the weather is permitting outdoor activity, at last. Shape up the way you are doing your exercising. Here are some ways that can increase your activity before summer approaches. 1.) Find fitness that is fun. Bored with what you have been doing? Try something completely different such as yoga, swimming, cycling, etc. Also, try new fitness classes offered on campus. 2.) Try a new hobby. Get involved in something you have been interested in trying for years, even if it mentally stimulating activity such as crossword puzzles. Viterbo intramurals that are offered are also a great way to try something new. 3.) Walk! The spring weather is a perfect time to take physical activity outside. Not only is it a great cardiovascular workout, but it can also be used to clear your head every now and again. 4.) Change up your diet. Been slacking a bit during the cold months? Spring is a great opportunity to take advantage of the freshly grown produce our local areas have to offer. 5.) Explore. La Crosse has lots to offer in terms of exploring nature. Walk, run, rollerblade, bike, etc. to the various places La Crosse has to offer. 6.) Make a list. Generate a list of certain health goals that you want to accomplish before the semester ends. Making a list is a great way to make sure you achieve your set goals. -Sam Otto UWL ESS Experience Student REC Pass Submission Time!
