Why Is SweetFlexx So Sweet?
Sweetflexx

Having a busy life isn’t always healthy. As an avid gym-goer, this was not OK for me. I needed to find time to assure proper exercise, more sleep and better eating habits for my body. I turned to looking for alternatives to help me accomplish my goals. While going to school full time and working, I didn’t have much time to play with. My biggest worry was making sure that I had enough time to continue going to the gym three to five times a week. Yet as my schedule got busier, my window for spare time got smaller. I came to the conclusion I needed to do something about it.

While talking to my friend Alexa about my debacle, she introduced me to Sweetflexx. The more I got interested in their company, the more I learned as well. Sweetflexx, founded and invented by McCullough Shriver, offers new and advanced products that are unlike any other that I have tried. Their apparel actually has built-in resistance bands, which can be worn on-the-go in forms of leggings and t-shirts. These products, aside from being extremely comfortable, better your health and make your workout without even realizing it. Wearing Sweetflexx not only allows for your body to work out itself while you are on the go, but the resistance bands fit firmly to you body, ensuring a good quality workout without having to step foot inside the gym. Feeling the pressure, I decided to give it a shot by trying out a pair of Sweetflexx leggings.

When I first received my leggings, I was very shocked with how comfortable they were. I got to speak with Patrick Meucci, an inside source of Sweetflexx for more information about this company. I learned that Sweetflexx collaborated with the manufacturer of Lululemon, creating their own fabric to provide quality and comfortability to the consumer. Not only were the leggings thick and soft, but they fit well too. The first few days I wore my Sweetflexx leggings shopping, nannying and to my friend's house for a barbeque. Each time I wore the leggings, the next day I felt sore. It felt as if I went to the gym, and threw in a little leg workout. The function behind the leggings are within the two resistance bands that run down the front, parallel over the knee. When you walk, each step you take requires you to bend your knee to move it forward. After speaking with Patrick more, I learned that after a year and a half of Yale testing, results showed having resistance bands in the front of the leggings, your body has to work against this force (four lbs each leg for each step), so your legs have to work harder to move. As you work against the resistance, your body will get used to supplying the right amount of oxygen and blood flow to the body, making everything function more efficiently. During the preliminary Yale testing period, results showed increased caloric burn, oxygen intake to the body and metabolic rate.

Wearing Sweetflexx helped me obtain a new alternative for days that I cannot get to the gym as well as intensifying my workouts on days I do go. I wear my leggings to the gym on days I do cardio, leg day and yoga classes, adding an extra kick to my workout. I highly recommend not only taking the time to look into investing in one of their products, but to research the technology behind what makes these products so useful.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
