The 5 best (and free) workouts for UWEC students
As UWEC students, we are always trying to find ways to combat the quesadillas from the Caf, or the one too many mochas from The Cabin. Recently, I’ve been doing some personal training sessions with a pilates instructor. As I was in the reformer today (if want to know what the heck that is, check out the picture below) I was thinking how college students get pretty creative when trying to stay healthy and active, especially on a student budget. So that has inspired todays blog, The 5 Best (and free) workouts for UWEC students.
PHOTO DISCLAIMER: Still working to get my legs above my head like that…
Whether it be volleyball, basketball, softball, or one of the other awesome activities, these are all perfect ways to not only shed some sweat, but also to be social! Need a break from all that studying? I think a Tuesday night intramural game is just what you need!
This option is for those of you that need to have a goal you are working towards. What better way than to train for a marathon?! Not only could you join the marathon club to learn how to even begin training, but you could start now so by the time spring rolls around you are ready to go! This is a personal goal for myself, so maybe an update around the spring time will be in order…
3. Exercise Classes in McPhee
Need someone to hold you accountable? Maybe some classes would be the right fit for you! They offer pilates, cycling, yoga, and my personal favorite Zumba weekly, and of course FO FREEEE! Grab a friend, choose your favorite class, and set a goal to go together every week.
What better way to enjoy Wisconsin’s Most Beautiful Campus than by using the miles of biking and running trails? The trails run through campus, but also extend beyond it. It’s a great way to explore the Eau Claire area! Personal recommendation: It’s good to reward yourself sometimes, so bring a few bucks as the trail leads you right by a local Dairy Queen.
Yes, it is steep. Yes, it is long. Yes, you will feel as though your lungs may give out on you. However, it is a free activity that you will absolutely do daily while living on campus. Maybe make a game of it, and challenge yourself to how many times in a day you can walk it! May the odds be ever in your favor.
Don’t let the picture fool you, there is a reason you cannot see their strained faces…
Now that you’ve finished all of these activities, I think the Chippewa river is calling your name…
