Friday Fitness Fun

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:

hoop poster

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!

Vagina Monologues 2009 a success


Cover of the SMU Journal, originally uploaded by SMU Women’s Centre.

We’ll post more photos and stories from the Vagina Monologues later, but we wanted to share the awesome news: we raised over $1500! We’re pretty excited about this. It’ll be great to sign that cheque over to the Avalon Sexual Assault Centre and V-Day (10% of proceeds go to the V-Day Spotlight Campaign. This year the campaign is focused on rape in the Democratic Republic of the Congo).

A big thanks goes out to Randi, who organized the event. She did a fantastic job and should be so proud of how well it turned out.

Also thanks to Laura, editor of the Journal, for taking photos at Saturday’s show. This is the cover from the most recent issue, which you can find online.
