I recently became aware of the fact that quite a number of students don’t know that their T-Card gives them access to the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre (TPASC), located at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus (UTSC). This facility…
Staying Active When You Really, Truly Don’t Have Time
You know what really grinds my gears? It’s the frequent mentioning in the media, on the Internet, social networks, etc. of the importance of making time to work out. They say there's no such thing as not having enough time to do something active, get out and get moving. While I'm all for cute, inspirational, motivating messages, to me that isn't one. On the contrary, I think it could be a detrimental message.
Feature: UC Yoga Club & Upcoming MoveU Events
For this week’s post I interviewed David London, the founder of the University College (UC) Yoga Club. David is a 3rd year undergraduate student studying computer science. He says he founded the club because he had a lot of friends who were interested in doing yoga but couldn’t afford to take a class. Knowing it was something David practised, it was his friends who brought up the idea of starting a club. David says he loved the idea because he wanted to teach but couldn’t do it full time.

dance, dance, dance
Off-beat bop. Wild shoulder shake. Index-finger-point with hip-shake. Y-M-C-A. Lawnmower. Sadly, that's about the extent of my dance moves. But I love dancing and take every opportunity to bust this short repertoire...in the privacy of my own home, of course.…

Just dooooo it!! Turn those resolutions into healthy habits
This year, I will get to the gym more. I'll confess, that was last year's resolution too. But I was teaching in the UK and traveling most weekends, so it was hard to get into a routine. Well, that's my…
It’s crunch-time! Staying physically active during exams
Frozen fingers, frozen toes, and it seems, a frozen commitment to staying active as a busy student. Yes, I'm hanging my head in shame. Several times this month (urgh...daily), I've taken the subway from St. George to Spadina Station to…
Get in the zone with Break Zone
The last week of classes are looming upon us and before you know it we get a taste of sweet freedom (aka Holiday break). But before we can take that breath of fresh air, we have to endure the stress and anxiety…
