About Us
Diversity, in respect to our blog, is the difference in mindsets and motivations, variations and beliefs, actions and practices in institutions that differ between groups.
- Through consented interviewing and observation, our goal is to search for variations in cultural values in how different groups of students (excluding faculty and staff) find reasons and motivations to attend the gym on the USF campus. By compiling our results, we aim to determine trends in both motivations and mindsets of active USF students.
- Once data is collected and analyzed, we hope to post the trends we have observed in active USF Students.
- Humanistic Approach: By finding diversity in trends, we can better understand the different mindsets of the students at USF who go to the gym.

Jamming to Music at the Gym Helps Physiologically
As it turns out, listening to music at the gym doesn't only help with us keeping a rhythm and having fun at the gym, it actually makes us lean mean fitness machines because it actually re configures our body and mental state to use less energy to do more work! As it turns out from the study, listening to music gives a good base for the exercise by providing rhythm and and allowing the mind to focus on other things than the activity at hand. This would make sense because then the body would act on its own in repetition to continue the exercises without hindrances, which increases the work done with less energy physiologically. Even miners sang songs to get them by with a little more ease! So the next time you hit the gym, be sure to remember those headphones!

Going to the gym and working out is seriously never a bad option NO matter who YOU are. Why? Let's just start with the fact that going to the gym everyday can help you control your weight by expending 500 calories per day. Exercising daily strengthens your heart and allows it to pumps more efficiently with more strain. It also lowers your blood pressure. And can lower the risk of developing diabetes and certain types of cancers. I guess it's safe to say the gym is the place to be. Going to the gym everyday can help you sleep better which gives you more energy.

Can also be a great way to boost your social life as well as your confidence. Let's see how people from genders and race are benefiting from the gym at Usf through these videos.
From the videos I determined that most Men & Women main goal is for a healthier mindset and lifestyle. Most Men and Women differentiate in what equipments they chose to use depending their interest and sport hobbies. Whether it may be running track or lifting weights the gym is the place to be! And no better than the USF gym which is right around the corner!

Did you know that the founders of Nike are Army Veterans! Yep Yep. Also, did you know Under Armour offers a lot of tactical gear? Maybe that is the reason I saw it all over the base shops. Also, both brands offer a 10% discount to all military members. Pretty neat, huh?
