Exercise Outside The Huff


University of Oklahoma sophomore, Michelle Stephenson, talks about why pilates is a good alternative exercise.



We all know you've been working out like a maniac to perfect your physique for your first college spring break experience. Aren't you tired of doing the same work out routine every day at the same place with the same people? Contrary to popular belief The Huff isn't the only place you can get a good workout in Norman, Oklahoma. It's true the classes they offer there are great, but going there every day can be redundant and boring, so why not try something new? There are a number of different places you can go to in order to get a good work out. If group fitness is your thing, there are a number of Pilates and Yoga studios in Norman. Pilates Plus is located right off Flood and is a mere ten minutes away from campus. Don't own a car? Not a problem, Ashtanga Yoga Studio is located on Campus Corner and is within walking distance. And if you're keeping a close eye on those calories, OU offers a great nutrition calculator where you can see the nutritional value for any given meal from restaurants located all around campus. With resources like these, you should be in top shape before you hit the beach in two weeks. For future reference, The University of Oklahoma also offers a plethora of work out classes that you can get an hour or two worth of credit from. You can take anything from Individual Fitness to Modern Dance and they're offered year round!
