Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 You CAN Exercise on Campus! Are you a student, struggling to fit exercise into your busy college schedule? You're not alone - many college students find it next to impossible to make room for fitness between studying and a busy social life. So how can you stay fit at school? Walking wins. Walking to class provides an energy boost that can help you stay alert during lectures, along with the aerobic activity that can keep you in shape. And don't limit your strolls to academic hours: Walk to meals, visit friends in other dorms, and hoof it to extracurricular activities. (Always walk with a friend at night or when you're not sure it's safe.) Aim to walk at least 20 minutes a day, five days a week. Get sporty. The physical prerequisites needed to play on a college team may be too much, but there are plenty of club sports open to the everyday athlete. From field hockey to volleyball to ultimate Frisbee, anyone can get out and play. Use the gym. Most colleges offer free entry to the school fitness facility. Swim laps, use the cardio equipment, take yoga or Pilates classes - and switch it up to keep things interesting. Exercise: Pass or fail. Make exercise unavoidable by adding an athletic class to your schedule. Try your hand at ballroom dancing, golf, or even fencing.
