January is the month of the New Year's resolution.
Many people vow to make simple, easy changes. Often
time many choose to make drastic changes in their
lives, particularly in their physical fitness.

My fitness journey began in 2004 and hasn't quit
since then. Beyond setbacks and laziness, I've
put my heart and soul into combating the battle
of the bulge. The recreation center at MTSU has
been the best help yet. It's hard enough to find
the motivation to want to change yourself, but,
when you're a college student, finding the cash
for it is even more of a challenge.

The "rec" center has been undergoing some amazing
construction to expand and deliver more to
students and faculty. Things have moved around
to accommodate students, so it seems a little
cramped, but all machines and facilities are
still accessible.

This year's resolution for me may not have been
to change my fitness, but I do care a lot about the
state of my body and my health. The rec center
has helped me make great strides in both.
