This video is introducing tips and tricks to make your workouts better and today’s session is particularly about overhead press and how to maintain a right form with Tristan, one of our personal trainers at the Recreation Center. Visit the facility this week and work on those exercises, and yes, don’t forget to keep Tristan’s tips in mind.

In 2014, Drexel becomes the first university in the country whose recreation center hosts an on-site therapy dog year-round and the first college in the Greater Philadelphia area to retain a therapy dog on campus. Jersey, an adopted
Carolina blend and a certified therapy dog, works as an official employee to destress students from the fall of 2014 to the winter of 2016. Drexel's current therapy dog Chai, a purebred Cane Corso and certified therapy dog, starts in
the spring of 2016.

This post is in recognition of Stress Awareness Month.

First things first, I want to make it clear that sugar, added sugar included, is NOT bad. Added sugar, however, should be limited and enjoyed more in moderation. 😋

Added sugars supply no nutritional value to the body, and the excess calories that added sugars provide can contribute to weight gain. Also, when overconsumed, added sugar may lead to obesity, tooth decay, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. As in all things, balance is key to a healthful diet and lifestyle. 😊

Home economics student Dorcas Reilly graduates. Eight years later, she forever changes American Thanksgiving dinners with the invention of the green bean casserole at the Campbell Soup Co. Reilly's original (and now-yellowed) green bean casserole recipe card was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2002, where it can be seen alongside other revolutionary and immortal inventions like Kevlar and Thomas Edison's light bulb.

This Flashback Friday post is in the observance of Women’s History Month.
