First Post Ramblings

Hi!


This is your lucky day! You've stumbled upon a fitness blog like none other; of course the topic of interest here is personal fitness, however, I think you'll find that the information and tips on this site are more comical than those of your average fitness junkie. "Why," you ask? Oh nothing really, just that I have absolutely no prior knowledge about anything health or fitness related, and no clue what I'm doing.


Which brings me to the reason I decided to start this blog. I was involved in multiple sports and teams before coming to college, always juggling at least three different activities at once. When I graduated high school and moved away, I started fresh. As an 18 year old college Freshman, having never ONCE entered a gym, I suddenly had access to the brand new recreation center at SSU. Admittedly, I was terrified of it. I never once ventured inside alone, and the only times I found myself there were for weekly intramural volleyball games. I was a bit more brave during my Sophomore year, but still never went more than a few times a month. When I did go, I spent about fifteen minutes on some scary machine and about thirty minutes stretching.


As a Junior,  I am now on the second leg of my college career and starting to realize how much my campus has to offer, and how soon it will no longer be available to me. Side-note, did you know Sonoma State offers wine tasting in our library? Well I guess that's part of the reason I decided to learn my way around a gym.


A little bit about me:
I'm a 20 year old college female studying Communications and Business at Sonoma State University in Northern California. If I could, I would spend all my free time snowboarding. I'm very outgoing and I love trying new things, and here's what I know about working out... oh yeah, I don't know anything about it. My goal this year is to educate myself on all things fitness, and in the process, maybe this butt-less brunette will get herself into shape.


This blog is a weekly account of things I learn, my experiences, and embarrassing moments inside the Sonoma State Rec center; a "Fitness for Dummies" of sorts. I'll post a "workout of the week" for those busy people who don't have time to hit the gym, and I'll be visiting InMotion classes along with getting tips and pointers from the instructors. Though this blog is geared toward students on the SSU campus, I think you'll find that many of my posts will be basic tidbits and are applicable to almost anyone.

  3. Love the "Fitness for Dummies" idea. I especially like that you will be following your own guide and educating yourself while passing it on to others. Your blog sounds lighthearted and witty, which will be fun to read in future posts. Good luck at the rec!
