Spring break is fast approaching, and for some at Texas State that means it's time to start shaping up. The university's Recreation Center has more than 100 cardio machines  and a variety of free and machine weights.  It also provides students with a swimming  pool, eight basketball courts, a rockwall and racquetball courts.  If you prefer group exercises, they are available as well  ranging from yoga to spinning classes.  One class -- called the Cat Crunch -- focuses on the abs.  So, if you're thinking it's time to shape up for the spring or summer, the Rec Center can help.
