Take Your Workout into the Great Outdoors

Make the most of the sun and get fit in the fresh air

Spring quarter is in full swing and many of us have just finished riding out the first wave of midterms. With the sun out, a light breeze and finally a little time to relax, it's time to take advantage of the great Northern California weather and exercise outside.

Winter quarter was a popular time to hit the gym, but now we have the opportunity to switch it up, step off the treadmill and breathe in some fresh air. For those of you that hold Pat Malley Fitness and Recreation Center near and dear to your heart, you can simply head over to the Sullivan Aquatic Center and start working on your backstroke.

Did you know that our pool is a little larger than an Olympic-sized pool? Freshman Allison Gette makes it a point to swim a few laps before her morning economics class. She often shows up to class with her hair still wet, but is always in a great mood and more focused for class after exercising outside.
