This summer I am really missing the on campus fitness classes that CSS offers! I love being able to drive to campus for free classes including yoga, cardio, sculpting, and even cycling! The fitness center is my favorite place to relax and destress!

Last week I met with my personal trainer from the PT program, Allissah. We did several tests to gage where I am physically including weight, height, and body fat measurements as well as flexibility, strength, and cardio tests. Then we took some time to discuss my fitness goals. These include losing ten pounds, being able to run a 5k under 40 minutes without walking, and improving my overall strength and flexibility. Based on my personal goals and how I did on my tests, Allissah has put together a fitness routine that I need to keep track of and report to her. On WF I do cardio, abs, and rock climbing. On TR I do arm, back, shoulder, and leg workouts. Monday’s are for swing dancing and rock climbing and my weekends are free. Being a part of this program has already drastically improved my motivation to exercise. Having to report to Allissah and hear her feedback keeps me accountable. Additionally, a few of us in the program share our workout successes with each other in a Facebook group message. This also helps me because when I am feeling proud of my work I get a pluthora of support in the form of “good job!” And arm muscle emojis. Participating in Saints Marathon and Climb Mount Everest Have also helped because it’s more people I have to report for. It also adds variety into my workout because I’m doing these in addition to Allissah’s workout plans. Basically, I am going to be so fit. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
