The ARCC is a great place that I believe all students should utilize even if you are new to fitness. With me being a senior at the Mount, I never really realized the true benefits of working out until this year. It is a time for me to unwind and relieve stress from school days that may be overwhelming. Once you build a routine of going to the ARCC you will quickly notice how much your mood and well-being changes. It’s a great way to help with your physical health along with helping with your sleep schedule. Angelica talks about this in her post from last week.
If weightlifting or simply just running on a treadmill is not your thing, you can easily just walk into the field house and find a basketball game to join. It’s a great way to meet new people while having fun and getting good exercise even if you are not the best at basketball like myself. And if basketball is not of your interests, believe it or not you can check the calendar sent to your email for the open swim times.
On some days, I will just go to the ARCC with no plan on what I am going to do and end up leaving with a great workout. It is a ton of fun, and I would suggest you gather some friends and go on over, or just go by yourself and you are sure to meet some people with similar interests as you.
If you liked this post I encourage you all to check back next week for another update as we are nearing the end of the semester and my time at the Mount.
