Life just seems to get insanely busy for us students once the term begins \u2013 we are immediately bombarded with quiz dates, assignment deadlines, and mid-term schedules. With a never-ending to-do list, I know that one of the first things\u00a0we put\u00a0on the back-burner (besides sleep) is exercise. I think we've all been in a situation before where it felt like there just wasn\u2019t enough time to squeeze it into a chaotic day.\r\n\r\nAlthough it can be challenging to strike a healthy balance between work and play, my goal\u00a0is to show you that it is indeed possible, and that it can be really fun! I am super excited to be a part of the Student Life team this year, and to get out and explore the countless opportunities available for getting active on or\u00a0near\u00a0campus.\r\n\r\nThis year, I want to dispel a lot of pre-conceived notions, myths and rumours about active living and inspire people to think outside the box. You don\u2019t necessarily need to have the latest high-tech running shoes or flashy spandex apparel to get started; some old shorts and a comfy tee work just fine (and is what I would usually wear). \u201cWorking out\u201d isn\u2019t limited to just pumping weights or running on the treadmill \u2013 you might prefer an outdoor<\/a>\u00a0activity instead. Maybe you\u2019ve already\u00a0been playing team sports your whole life, or maybe the word \"athlete\" is a completely foreign term to you. That\u2019s ok! We don\u2019t all have to be gymaholics<\/a>, hockey stars, or yoga gurus<\/a>. The wonderful thing about exercise is that the options are virtually endless, and range from absolute beginner to total expert. All you need is a little creativity and a willingness to try something new.\r\n\r\nMy hope is that this post, and\u00a0those to follow,\u00a0inspire you to get up, get out, and most of all, get moving! Sometimes the difference between heading out for a brisk walk or run\u00a0and spending that spare hour on Facebook is a little extra motivation<\/em>\u2026\r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n\r\n...So I will\u00a0do my best to\u00a0help you out\u00a0by sharing tips to\u00a0keep you in the know\u00a0on\u00a0FREE, or almost free,\u00a0events and offerings on campus\u00a0throughout the year!\r\n\r\nAll pumped up but don't know where to start?\u00a0Then check out the extensive list of athletics and recreation clubs<\/a> at U of T \u2013 there are so many options, from longboarding<\/a>\u00a0to Kungfu Dynamics<\/a> and everything in between. You can also see if any of the FREE<\/strong> drop-in fitness classes<\/strong> offered at Hart House<\/a> or the AC<\/a> fit with your schedule; printed copies of the current schedules are available\u00a0at both facilities. Full-size day lockers are free to use, but remember to bring your own lock!\r\n\r\n- Lesia","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
