Welcome

Hello Spinners!!

Thanks so much for checking out our new blog. What we would like to do is to open up discussion about Jenny's SPIN classes at the Rec Center at the UA. Jenny tries to keep things interesting with new profiles, music that you like, etc, but would really like your input on how to make the class better and to get you more involved in your workout. :)

So please feel free to post song suggestions, what type of ride you would like to see in upcoming weeks or any helpful tips for other riders or exercise enthusiasts. Jenny will try to post some interesting information regarding other fitness and nutrition news. She will also post some suggestions for other classes at the Rec to help you cross train and get in better shape or to accomplish some of your other fitness goals.

Thanks so much for participating, hope that we can make this a dynamic community that will benefit all!

Amazing Recipe from Andrew Weil

Hey everyone!

So if you haven't heard of Andrew Weil- he is this bigwig throughout the nation that is based here at the UA. He's all about wellness and nutrition and over-all well being in a holistic kind of way. I found this recipe on the NYTimes website and tried it for a dinner party with my boyfriend and some of his friends. I'd never cooked with winter squash before, so it is really easy to make. ;) I recommend adding a melted stick of butter to it just in case. I was scared that it wouldn't have enough fat (and therefore not taste good), but I'm sure that it will taste amazing without it.

This soup was a big hit at the dinner party and my roommmates loved the leftovers (it saves really well). And don't skip out on the pesto- it make the soup.

Have a wonderful day and please try making this over the winter break. It's a great, healthy way to keep warm as it gets colder.
