Owls on the Street: Fitness and ways Southern can improve

Jennie Ellis on working out regularly: “I work out every Friday I actually go to free yoga Fridays over at the student center with Denise Zack, so that’s a definite. And then I’ll do yoga in between like Mondays and Wednesdays just on my own and I hula hoop a lot so, and it’s actually really good exercise.”

Joanna Kisiel on exercising regularly: “I don’t have a workout routine, but at my job, I swim and I teach kids how to swim, so I guess I work out. I work at Healthtrax which is a gym in North Haven. It’s all year-round and I teach kids from nine months to however old you want to be.”

Alexis Duncan on exercising regularly: “I bike to get to school, to get to downtown New Haven, to get groceries, to go to the bank, anything within city limits, I can bike to. I do it for the health benefits just as stress relief and to get to places in general.”
