7 more days!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nI\u2019m happy to announce that on top of circus and jitsu, I\u2019ll be continuing my ice princess adventure this semester in the Skating Level 1 registered class at Varsity Centre! I\u2019m currently looking for a pair of skates to call my own, but it\u2019s great knowing that rentals are available if I don\u2019t find the right fit in time.\r\n\r\nI had so much fun last semester I simply couldn\u2019t stay away from this class! It\u2019s timely, with it being the season for skating, and I have lots left to learn. I can\u2019t wait to use some of my new skills at the upcoming jitsu skating social at Nathan Philipps Square. A friend I made last semester revealed she\u2019d also be returning to the class and I\u2019m hoping we registered for the same session, there are a fair number of time slots available so students can find a place for the class in their schedule.\r\n\r\n

I\u2019m going to be participating in the \u201cRoll it Out\u201d class offered at the Athletic Centre once a week. It\u2019s a class dedicated to teaching myofascial release exercises employing foam rollers \u2013 I\u2019m sorry, I probably made that sound so lame.\r\n\r\nMyofascia refers to the tissue that covers your muscles and myofascial release consists of techniques which relax muscles, improve circulation, alleviate pain and increase mobility. I figured, \u201cWhat better class to add to my already long list then one aimed at recovery and rehabilitation?\u201d I\u2019m genuinely excited to learn, not only for my benefit, but for that of my friends and training partners. I think this will be a fantastic complement to my weekly routine!\r\n\r\n

While you\u2019re there you can also check out the drop-in programs offered this term for a free, flexible fitness alternative! I\u2019m hoping I\u2019ll be able to squeeze some of these into my schedule as well as there are a lot of classes I\u2019ve yet to try.\r\n\r\nIf you\u2019re looking for a way to stay active and get involved on campus, the UTSU\u2019s Clubs and Summer Experience Fair may be a good place to stop by this Tuesday, January 17. The fair, taking place in the dome at Varsity Centre from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., is a great opportunity to find summer employment and discover campus clubs! Last year, I enjoyed getting to know the University of Toronto Dance Club and the University of Toronto Ski and Snowboard Club. This year, I\u2019ll be at the fair in a professional capacity but I\u2019m looking forward to seeing lots of you there!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Everybody hates January.
