Some individuals have more
unconventional systems of losing
their excess weight.
“Sex is one of the best exercises
out there,” Tiffany Fischer said. “I
still go to the gym, but that’s my
quality time.”
“The more you put into it, the
more you lose,” she added.
Fischer is not alone. Several
other students agree with her opin
ion of what she calls “the sinful
exercise.”
Many simply don’t indulge
themselves on seasonal food.

from putting on extra pounds dur

only when there is
weight to be lost.
“I exercise every
day,” said Matthew
Ostergren, whose
workout consists
of classic push-ups
and sit-ups.
“I don’t work

another
student,

In addition to sit-
