Welcome!

Welcome to UniversityFitness! My name is Kate. So everybody has heard of the dreaded Freshman 15, right? When considering the triple threats of drinking, dining halls and dorm life, weight gain seems almost seem unavoidable. BUT, I finished freshman year at the same weight I entered, and now I want to build on that foundation and get in the best shape of my life. College is not only filled with challenges to fitness, but also unprecedented opportunities. Now, many colleges give students access to nutritional counseling in addition to workout facilities. What I hope UniversityFitness will provide is access to information that will make eating healthily in dining halls, staying active, and avoiding the beer gut easier. This blog will follow my progress as I follow these tips and work toward my goals.
