Nutrition and Exercise

The dreaded Freshman 15...something that nearly all college students face...Luckily enough, Virginia Tech is a big enough campus that it's not as big of a threat here. However, if you are watching your weight, or trying to become more physically fit, there are a wealth of resources at your fingertips to help you attain just that.
The two exercise facilities on campus, McComas Hall and War Memorial Hall, are excellent places to start. Whether you want to bulk up in the weight room, run to improve your cardio, or just play wallyball, the options are unlimited, and the hours are flexible enough to fit any schedule. You can create your own workout routine, or sign up for personal trainer to help you along the way.
If you're counting calories, have no fear!  Nutritional information for all of the food served in the dining halls is located online, and you can calculate these values for each meal you eat. In just a few short clicks, you can judge how your diet is and if you should make any changes in order to mainta.in a balanced diet In addition to this, all of the food on campus is completely free of trans-fats!
In short, with all the options to exercise and the resources that are available to you, there's no reason that you can turn the "Freshman Fifteen" negative if you want to!
