Reflection Time

I believe my blogs have came a long way from day 1 blog about health in general.I went from just talking about losing weight and overeating to how the students here at odu are not utilizing the facilities built to help us stay in shape and healthy. I put in a lot of time with making sure that everyone is aware of what we have here on campus and where it can be found at. I even live my blogs. On any day you can come to the gym and see me doing something i wrote about in my blogs. The only thing that i wish i could have done better was to get more people to actually read my blogs. Reason being is that there is alot of people at odu that would benefit greatly from them. Plus it took me to the end of the semester to learn about other networking places ,such as twitter, that i could have gotten my blogs out there. So if i could go back in time and do something differnt i would have networked better basically. But i dont think i would have done anything else differently because i thought i reached all my goals this semester and some. Reason being that i got through this class without rambling on in blogs and that i actually made choices in my life from actually being interested in this topic i was gaven. So all in all i think this was the way i wanted my blogs and experience to be.

Okay, Who Done It?!?!

Recently the new rec center has put into effect a new policy on towels. You have to check them out now! Why you ask? Because someone or more than likely people stole 400 towles from the gym. So instead having a towel to lay down on the benches to reduce sweat or to keep others sweat from getting on you, we have nothing. No one is in the mood to check out a towel then check a sweaty towel back in at the end of your workout. This is really a bad look on the rec centers part because people could get hurt or possible sick. Hopefully they will fix this problem by next semester.

An Added Boost! (No Jose Canseco)

Are you looking for a little extra boost while you are in the gym? Well i have the answer for you all! Its called Glutamine and is the most abundant amino acid (building block of protein) in muscle cells. It is released from the muscle during times of stress (such as hard weight training workouts) and dieting. So this is no steriod or illegal bulk building pill, instead its perfectly legal and safe. The effects of this pill can be that little mphfff you need and they are listed here.



1. Regulation of protein synthesis (this is one of the ways in which steroids exert their muscle building effects).


2. Accelerating glycogen synthesis after a workout.


3. Sparing the use of the glycogen stored in the muscle cell (recall that the glycogen stored in the muscle cell is what gives the cell the healthy volume and firmness that you seek).


4. Faster recuperation from weight training workouts.

Zumba!

There is this new class called Zumba at the new rec center at odu. It is a great new way to shed pounds throught dancing. It is mostly a female oriented class that uses salsa, club, and reggeatone dance moves. I had the pleasure to attend a class and it was was a very upbeat class. The class has non-stop dancing with a few breaks and will have u sweating out the fat in no time. My Jessica Gordon is the instructor at our school and she is a very good instructor. After one of her classes all i heard was girls talking about how they couldnt wait till the next class. So if you ever want to ditch the workout and join the party below are a list of the times she will be odu and holding a Zumba class.
