Halas is the sports and recreation center at Loyola University in Chicago. This gym is a bit small, but I really enjoy going there to have a good work out. I love using the cardio machines. I usually use the stair master, elliptical machine, or treadmill when I go to Halas. This type of cardio will keep my heart healthy and my weight down.

I believe that exercise is very important for the body and the mind. When I work out, my body feels good and healthy. Also, my mind feels refreshed. If I am stressed about school, sometimes working out helps rejuvenate me, and I will be ready to hit the books once more. I want to remain healthy throughout my whole life. I intend to keep working out, playing sports, and eating healthily for the rest of my life. I certainly do not want to live up to Indiana's reputation and statistics for obesity.
