FOCUS: Use PSU Apps to help you become healthier on campus
The Dining@PSU and the PSUStrength Apps are a great excuse for you to be on your phone more than you already are! These Apps allow you to manage your time better, are fun to use, and can help you in your path to being healthy.
PSUStrength:
This App is perfect for those who frequent the gyms here at Penn State often. This App has many great features in which you can check the schedule of the gyms, the waiting time for a gym and status of how many people are in the gyms, and view contact information about the gyms. Having an App like this at your fingertips avoid waitingat a gym for a long time or having to Google search the hours for the gym. Because time management is such a fundamental part of college, by having this App you will know exactly which gyms to go to and which gyms not to go to. The App is very easy to use and is free.
Dining@PSU:
For those of you who like to know what your food options are ahead of time, I highly recommend this App. The Dining@PSU App has an abundance of abilities including: checking the food options at six dining commons on campus, create a daily log of the food you consume at the dining halls, lists the complete nutrition facts of all food served, gives you news alerts, allows you to pick favorites from the dining halls and notifies you when your favorite foods appear again, and much more. This App is great because it can not only act as a calorie counter, but is a good way to eliminate the disappointment of missing your favorite meal at a certain dining hall.
By using these Apps you can manage your time, eating habits, and workout schedule rather than asking all of your friends or frustratingly searching the web. I highly recommend these Apps in order to stay fit and healthy!
Em, this is a great idea and I didn’t even know about it until reading your post! Having apps for the gym and eating is a great thing to be able to look at. It is a very valuable way to plan out your foods and your day! I think the PSU dining hall one specifially is great because then you can see the calorie count on the food, which when dieting is super important!
