Ellipticals, stait-steppers and treadmills arc three of the most sought after machines in any of these exercise rt«ms, and waiting lists often result.

It li M unctmimon to find Domers jogging around die lakes early on a September morning. However, not far irito the school year, the leaves begin to fall and the lake effect makes its return. The joggers disappear, the paths ice over, and the cold wind whips across the quads. Going outside to exercise just does not work anymore. So where do students go when they want to jog, play a game of basketball, or just lift some weights? The LUiiversity provides a variety of places and options for students who want to keep active during the winter months. Tliose who live on South Quad often choose to work out at the Rockne Memorial, known to most simply as the Rock. North Quaders tend toward Rolf ' s, finding it closer to home. The most convenient option, however, proves to be the exercise , i rooms of the dorms themselves. Chelsea Mason, a freshman in Welsh Family Hall, commented, I prefer to go to the litde gym downstairs. It ' s too much effort to go over there [to Rolf ' s]. Maam described Welsh ' s exercise room which contains an elliptical machine, a stair stepper, and some free-weights. On cold winter days, the option of walking down a few flights of stairs to use an elliptical seems to far outweigh the thought of trekking across campus to do the same thing. However, making the journey to Rolf ' s or the Rock does have some definite advantages. Both facilities offer a variety of programs, machines, and weights. RecSports offers interhall athletics ranging from the common sports like basketball and soccer, to the more obscure, such as horseshoes and badminton. Also, during those weeks when papers and exams seem to pile up, RecSports offers relaxation classes that help students with stress management. There are plenty of options around campus for students who want to keep in shape. Even when the sun decides to hibernate from November until March- thus ruling out frisbee on the quad as an exercising option- there are still many places to go for a gexxl work out. The key for most students, however, is simply finding the motivation. by Jennifer f itzsimmons 24 ' 3 wD4 Xyi •3A«3 ' 4 ig J
