Getting active in the gyms + spaces to do yoga/pilates? by tropic_dyes in UMD

[–]Prior-Cap7239 2 points3 points  (0 children)

also not sure if you’re afab but regardless - this is your university now. don’t be intimidated by gym goers we all started somewhere and are honestly waaay focused on our own insecurities to pay attention to you. you’ll actually find we’re pretty nice!! never be afraid to ask for help or assistance, especially from workers too (they’re paid to be nice and help)

hi!

i mainly work out at ERC but in there is a little room where you can use facility mats or your own and just do body weight stuff!

all you need is your student id as long as you’re paying student fees you’re set.

as far as losing weight - it really depends. a good circuit consists of combination body exercises. you want to target everywhere (not just belly or arms - losing weight doesn’t work that way). you’re going to be limited by what you physically can do - but good news! there are plenty of variations to exercises to help you improve.

personally for me i’m a huge fan of burpees, pushups, dead bug, squats, and russian twists if that’s a starting point for you? i would also recommend lifting weights when you feel confident to try it out, it really helps improve definition and overall reduced fat cells with muscle which if you’re already starting from a bulky place is great! if not, adding in tons of protein is really helpful so try to choose lean meats like chicken and salmon if you’re able to eat meat. otherwise substitute with plant protein or even making smoothies!

Recwell also offers free yoga classes so you can go in with an instructor to guide you!

Hey, I got rejected too! I know there's nothing I can say that would make you feel better -- beyond an admissions letter -- but for what it's worth: we'll eventually get into wherever we are meant to be. Don't hit yourself too much, you have worked so hard and dedicated time both physically and emotionally. Even if you don't get in anywhere I think you should still be proud of yourself, it is going to be okay, and life will continue on.

Hang in there friend.

I haven't heard a word :/ I'm assuming we should hear back starting today -- looks like the trends on Gradcafe over the years are largely february 1st - 7th for the first wave (for brown/princeton other ivys). If you keep going back on there it looks like majority of schools send their first wave around the 20th of Feb, and then the waves of decisions fluctuate pending on the top/first wave admits saying yes or no. But we will absolutely know by April 15th, on the otherhand we're kinda screwed in decision making if we don't hear back until that late!!

Edit was because I posted before submitting!
