The semester is winding down and, unless you’re here for summer school, your time with Campus Rec is dwindling (*tear*). Your gym at home or your post-graduation gym may have the treadmills, weight machines and all that jazz, but there are some offerings unique to UNC. I want to challenge you to commit to at least one of these Campus Rec Bucket List items before your last exam!
- Campus Run – Every Tuesday at 6 p.m. in front of Rams Head Rec Center, you can join Campus Rec, Fleet Feet Carrboro and Nike for a three to five mile run. You can grab free Nike gear for just showing up! This group of runners has continued to grow through the past couple years, so bring a friend and join the crowd. Oh, and don’t worry about your pace – all different fitness levels will attend! Read my blog about it here.
- Fitness Assessment – Hands down, this is the most useful resource we offer at Campus Rec. This is great to do before you head out for summer so you can set fitness goals for yourself. By doing a few tests and exercises, you’ll find out your body fat percentage, flexibility level, blood pressure, bicep strength and more! Then, the personal trainer will help you put together a plan to get healthier and fitter over the next few months. This free assessment is in the SRC and you can find the hours here. Read about my experience here.
- Fitness Class – Read my review on Pilates, H.I.I.T., Step, Absolution, Zumba, TurboKick and Cycle. I’ll be honest right now – my favorite class is Cycling and the one I suffer through (and get the best results) for summer is Absolution. Get out of your comfort zone and try a new class! You may be surprised at how much you like and enjoy a new form of exercise!
- Personal Training – Like the Fitness Assessment, a personal training session is an excellent way to prep for summer. You can get help setting up a plan to stay fit and reach your goals during summer. Your trainer will walk you through a routine that you can do by yourself at home and you’ll return to UNC more toned than ever before!
