How to eat healthier during thanksgiving

Everyone knows that thanksgiving is day where everyone pigs out and eats as much as they can, which is unhealthy. In this blog I am going to give you a few tips on how to make thanksgiving healthier. One way to make it healthier is by not having the dinner a family style dinner. Family style dinner is when all the food is placed in front of you on the table. Instead you should keep the food on the counter so people have to get up to get more food. Another thing to add on to this is to use smaller plates while eat so people can not put as much food on their plate.

The ARC

The ARC is the gymnasium is here at SRU. The ARC offers a variety of ways to get physical activity. Some of things that they offer at the ARC is a swimming pool, weight lifting area, rock wall, and four basketball courts. The ARC is a place where all SRU students can exercise for free and I feel that not enough students take the advantages of using this facility. I think that we as physical educators should embrace other students to use the facility and exercise.

I.M. Leagues

When I knew I was going to attend Slippery Rock University, I knew that I was not going to be playing any sports here. I started to wonder how am I going to get my physical activity while I am here. In my first semester I was asked to play on an I.M. Wheelchair Basketball team. It was one of the best experiences that I have had here at SRU so far. Ever since I started to play intramural sports , I have expanded the sports that I play because I love being active and competitive. This semester I have already played flag football, wheelchair basketball, and basketball.

Boga

In the ARC at Slippery Rock University they have this one fitness activity called Boga. Boga is simply  a workout in a board in the water. The workout consists of working out the arms, legs, and abs. The activity lasts about 50 minutes. Boga is one of the most fun activities at Slippery Rock University without a doubt.
