Fearless of the Freshman Fifteen

Returning to Read for my second year, I still consider several of my floor mates from last year to be my best friends. We started several traditions last year that we continue now, one of which being regular trips to the SRSC or HPER gyms. When paired with the healthy choices in the dining halls, staying in shape is not as hard as the stereotypes say. Last Sunday when they came to visit, we took the familiar walk to the SRSC for fitness and fun.

Three of the six of us prefer swimming as a way to stay in shape, especially during hot weather. The SRSC has many free lanes open after 5:30 p.m.


In addition to pools, fitness centers on campus have facilities like basketball, racquetball, and tennis courts. In the conditioning areas, there are cardio machines such as ellipticals, tredmills, and bikes, as well as extensive weight training areas, so staying in shape is easy no matter who you are.
