With all of our papers, projects, presentations, and not to mention finals coming up, how can a busy college student make time for fitness?
Well, what is fitness in the first place?
       “Fitness means being able to perform physical activity”.      
-     WEB MD
It’s pretty simple isn’t it? Yet, a lot of us struggle squeezing in time to work out. We often find ourselves saying that we don’t have time or initiative. Let me be a friendly reminder that you make time for what you want! I’m a firm believer that the worst workout, is no work out.
So, in hopes that we can make time for fitness, here are some solutions to common excusesJ
Possible Excuse:

1)     “I don’t have time”.




2)     “I’m too tired”.





3)     “I’m not interested in exercise”.
Solution:

1)     Make time! As a CSULB student you can go to the SRWC Monday-Sunday throughout the semester.  Make time in between classes or during the weekend.


2)     Working out actually gives you energy! Also produces the “feel good” endorphin hormone. So, get some energy with a workout!


3)     Find an activity you love. The SRWC has Racquetball, Rock Climbing, Swimming, Volleyball, Basketball, etc. Team up with a friend and try something new!
Confidence, Energy, Motivation, and better health are just a few benefits of

getting in tune with your fitness !

What HPV is and How It’s Spread Now you may be thinking…what in the world is HPV? Until a few years ago, I had no idea either. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that is transmitted through genital skin-to-skin contact. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HPV is the most common STI in the United States and the population most at risk to get HPV are people in their late teens to mid-twenties. The Details Since HPV is a virus, there is no cure. In most cases, a healthy immune system can help fend off the virus so it can clear the body on its own. People infected with HPV can transmit it to their partner(s) even if they don’t have any symptoms.  There are 40 types of HPV that are sexually transmitted. Symptoms of HPV include genital warts or genital cancers. Warts don’t cause cancer. They appear flat or raised in the genital area and may itch, but usually not painful. Treatment includes freezing them ...

Why Your Dental Health Matters

Most people think of dental health solely in terms of teeth. However, dental hygiene is comprised of several elements including your teeth, tongue, and gums! Let’s explore important tips for your dental health. Importance of Dental Health Your mouth is an entry point for food, beverages, and bacteria/viruses. While we naturally have certain defense mechanisms in place, such as saliva and tooth enamel, the sugars, acids, and bacteria we consume can all take a toll on our oral health. Neglecting dental care can result in painful conditions that make everyday tasks like eating and drinking hard. As well as that, ignoring your dental health can be costly. It’s much cheaper to buy a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss than it is to pay several hundred dollars to get a cavity filled or replace teeth with implants and dentures, which cost thousands of dollars! Missing teeth can have an impact on your appearance, which affects your job and social prospects. And finally, did you know tha...

What images come to mind when someone says the word “condom”? A small, square shaped packet? A sex ed teacher using a banana as a display model? Most people tend to think of external condoms as the only types of condoms available, however there is another type of condom that lots of folks don’t even know about! Internal, or “female” condoms, are another type of condom that is a great option for people seeking protection from STI’s and pregnancy. It does this by creating a barrier between your genitals, and your partner(s). Internal Condoms Internal condoms are 79-95% effective, and are made of nitrile, which makes them a great option if you have a latex allergy/sensitivity. Female condoms look like large external condoms with a flexible plastic ring inside.  Check the expiration date.  Carefully open the packaging and take out the condom.  To insert the condom squeeze the inner ring between your thumb and middle finger. From there you can insert the...
