Lets Take View At This Healthy Living

If your ever in need of a good workout you may want to try going to the new Recreational Center at Old Dominion University. If you take a look inside you will see its really a state of the art facility. Or if your not in the mood to workout you can enjoy one of their Outdoor Adventure Programs or take a moment to induldge in healthy snacks at the newly renovated Einstein Bros. Bakery also located at the new Recreational Center. But before you go you mite want to take an amazing antioxidant and nutritional supplement. Luckily we have a shop close to campus that sells such a drink called MonaVie. Its really a delicious drink and you wouldnt want to start a workout without one. Also before you start working out make sure you take a dosage of glutamine to cut down on your recooperation time. It can be purchased at you local GNC.

MonaVie!


My friend (Bobby) used this antioxidant and nutritional blend drink that he swears by. Bobby said "after a long night of partying where I would stay out until 2 in the morning and have to be up and ready for work at 6, Before I would go to bed I would take a shot size amount (one ounce) of MonaVie juice. When I woke up in the morning, no hangover, no dehydration, I felt refreshed and ready for work."

Now, it may be hard to believe that this juice can prevent a hangover, and that's not its main and intended purpose, but it is an amazing antioxidant and nutritional supplement. It contains the berry, Acai. Which is a slightly larger looking blueberry but with 10 times the antioxidants of a blueberry.

I talked to Gillian, who is a MonaVie supplier, and she said that MonaVie is "tastes just like concentrated juice, and it hits the system faster than a vitamin pill. So you immediately feel energized and ready for the day. It is a great juice to take before bed (to help replenish your body while you sleep) and when you wake up (to help you start your day off right)." One ounce shot of the MonaVie juice acts like a daily vitamin. Taken once or twice a day, depending on the type you buy, this juice will help to revitalize your mind and supply your body with the energy it needs to get through the day.

The only way to be sure that this juice works for you is to try it. You can find it at this store.

*I changed a few things since the last post. I added a quote and some more information on MonaVie

No More Tickets!!!


Old Dominion University has built a new recreational facility for its student body and falcuty. It is state of the art in design as well as the different activities it encompasses. Everything is as what was promised and expected from the new facility but there is one major problem. Where do you park your car at? Theres a lot next to it but if you park there than you will get a $22 dollar ticket. There is plenty of open spots for parking on the street leading to the gym but once again you will get either a warning or a $22 dollar ticket. You could park across the street in front of whitehurst but that only 2 hour parking so you better hope your in and out. Then there is powatan parking lot but i have seen odu parking officials hand out tickets for parking there. So where is it okay to park at? Is it understood that everyone has to walk no matter how far away you live or not? Or is this new gym just a demo because it seems like its no safe way to get there. Lois Simmons an official at the office of parking and public transportation said, "The school is working on building a garage for the facility and for now we just have to bear with them and they will try and cut us some slack." To me something else needs to be done immediately because its already a recesion and we students do not need more bills than we already have.

Getting the word out

In order to get people to read our blog on fitness we have decided that we will make a few fliers to post on the bulletin boards in Webb and in the new gym. These fliers will say something like "interested in fitness? so are we, check out our blog with great ways to stay fit and live healthy!" Since the new gym has been opened it has been packed with people. Posting up some fliers in the gym will attract the type of people who are interested in our blog, also posting in the Webb can attract other people who might be somewhat interested.
