We are a nation of obesity and excessiveness. Many if us struggle daily with eating properly and getting enough exercise. The statistics speak for themselves when 1.5 million heart attacks occur in the United States each year with 500,000 deaths, according to the Women's Heart Foundation. Many of us wished we had started our healthy habits during our early years. Fortunately, many of the colleges around the United States are putting more money and effort into developing fitness centers on their campuses. Not only are the traditional super gyms popping up, but some colleges are adding new fitness trends, like indoor rock climbing walls. Not only does this activity create muscles, but sports like rock climbing are fun and safe.
At Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, the new recreation center on 48th street breaks the barriers and opens doors to alternatives in exercise. These new fitness trends widen the scope of exercise to include climbing as a sport and a viable exercise.
