One of my favourite things to do on-campus is to hit the gym, stressed or not.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI obsessively go to the gym. Yes, obsessively. It\u2019s practically my second home! I drag (cough* I mean, invite) my friends to drop-in fitness classes on most days. From Zumba, Ginga, Island Groove, Tabata, Cardio Kickboxing to Bollywood classes that all happen in the Athletic Centre<\/a>, Goldring Centre<\/a>, and our beloved Hart House<\/a> \u2013 there is a class for everyone!\r\n\r\nThe fitness instructors here on campus are AMAZING! They motivate me to work hard whenever I am at the gym! It is not just about losing weight but being fit and healthy. Our team captain, Madelin teaches Cardio Kickboxing and the first time I took that class, I was wiped! She definitely whooped my butt! If you are more into dancing, there are many classes to choose from as I mentioned above such as Zumba, Island Groove, Ginga, and Bollywood dance!\r\n\r\nNot too long ago aka a couple of weeks ago, one of the fitness instructors (Dione) here at U of T held an awesome 2-hour dance fitness event that included AfroFusion, Caribbean, Latin, Pop and Reggae rhythms. It was a total BLAST!\r\n\r\n
