TABLE OF CONTENTS
Welcome Back!Fall is always a very exciting time on college campuses across the country. See new faces, catch up with old friends, share summer adventures, and be seen at the Rec. Recreation and Sports Services is dedicated to providing diverse learning opportunities while instilling a lifelong commitment to wellness. In addition to our new Recreation and Sports Services newsletter, here are a few other things we have been up to while you were away:
Find our new YouTube page at youtube.com/uwfrecreationUse the latest technology to stay in touch by using the new service HOTHAND. Swim in our Aquatic Center this fall after its $4M renovation.
In addition, there are new Outdoor Adventure trips to sign up for and new IM teams to join (where the only loser is the non-participant). Perhaps a sport club is of more interest. We have 21 for you to choose from. Or check out our updated fitness schedule, Detox with Yoga, or Shred-n-Burn. Need incentive? Get a personal trainer. They are smart, fit, and cute! Need a job? We can help. Visit our booth at the on campus job fair, August 31.

Page 7 SPORT CLUB SPOTLIGHT:
MEN’S RUGBY
Why should people join the Rugby Club?
It’s a great way to make lifelong friends. The guys that play rugby create a fraternity, or brotherhood, of their own. This brotherhood extends to rugby players on the teams we play against also.
The Rugby Club also gives back to the community. We support Big Brothers/Big Sisters and teach children how to play the game.
Contact [email protected] for more information on a sport club, or if you would like to start a new one!
How did you get involved with the Rugby Club?
I took an Intro to Philosophy class with a guy on the team. He mentioned I should give it a try. I came out to a practice, tried it, liked it and have been playing ever since.
Who do you play against?
The UWF Rugby Club competes in the Deep South USA Rugby Conference. The club travels to compete with schools across the Southern plain, including the University of Southern Mississippi, Ole Miss, Tulane, University of Louisiana-Lafayette and FSU.
What does your season look like?
The Fall Semester is Pre-Season. There are four to five single games and usually two tournaments. The Regular Season takes place during the Spring Semester with six games, then playoffs.
Thank you Michael Parlato, UWF Rugby Club President, for telling us about the Rugby Club!
We wish you success in the upcoming season!
Are you recruiting new players? How can someone join the Rugby Club?
Yes, we need new players! Stop by one of our practices (Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5pm on the Intramural Field), e-mail [email protected] or find us on Facebook (ArgoRuggers).

FREQUENTLY ASKED P.T. QUESTIONS
Which strength training routines are good for beginners?Any strength training routine should include at least 8-10 exercises that train all the major muscle groups of the body. The ACSM recommends that strength training be done on at least �-3 nonconsecutive days. Initially, one set of 8-1� repetitions should be performed to the point of volitional fatigue.
Will strength training make you “bulky” if you are a female?This is one of the biggestmisconceptions of weight training for females. The muscular gains that males make are due to hormonal responses that cause such drastic changes in muscle mass. Although females can and will gain muscle, the changes are not as apparent as seen in males. Weight training is must in any training program! Engaging in a consistent weight training program will assist with burning more calories, improving bone mineral density, and will help the body work efficiently.
