Senior Dennis Branch replied, “I don’t do any set exercises, but I enjoy riding a horse or riding my three wheeler whenever I get time or a chance.” Art student Robin Trahan commented. “I like to do aerobics with my Jane Fonda tape. I usually add ankle and wrist weights to make the aerobics more challenging.” Freshman Jennifer Marion enjoys playing racquetball in her spare time.

Rob¬ in said that she liked to exercise because, “ ... it tones up my muscles and makes me feel good about myself ... be¬ ing in good physical shape makes every- day activities less tiring and more enjoy- able.

That’s why I like to hunt.” Whether exercising religiously or just whenever the urge hit, students turned to exercise for many reasons.
