Friday Fitness Fun

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Forgive my love of alliteration, but I couldn’t help it. Friday Fitness Fun just works so well when describing our new Friday programming. Check it out:

From 10:30-11:45am:

Eight weeks of free Capoeira! Sweet!

And then from 1:30-2:45:

Hula hooping! I went last week and decorated my hoop. It was a lot of fun and I’m looking forward to going again on Friday. I brought my hoop home on the bus and got a few strange looks, but what the hell! Hooping is awesome!

Both of these are free to full-time SMU students/Tower members. If you don’t fit into one of those categories, I believe a day pass will run you about $8. Which isn’t bad if you were to go to both of these activities. You could stretch it out and use the pass to steam in the sauna or do drop-in yoga at 5pm (although, I warn you – yoga fills up early!). And there are free hoops (first come, first serve) for about ten people to decorate and keep. That is more than worth the $8!

Hope to see you on Friday!

Fair and Equal Pay

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Oh, Obama! You really are all about hope and change!

Why do I say this? Well, check out this ad from his campaign:

The woman in the ad is Lilly Ledbetter. Yesterday, Obama signed a fair pay law that is called the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act.

How awesome is that? Now if only the Canadian government could get on board with legislation like that.
