Important Exercises : Fitting exercise into a busy schedule isnt always the easiest thing, but take stock of some of these tips to help you get on track to fitness. > Stretch first. Help yourself avoid injuries by stretching each time you exercise. Simple stretches before and after you work out or engage in physical activity can help keep you active and pain free. > Ride your bike. Instead of taking the bus or driving to class, try biking instead. It will give you a few minutes of exercise between your courses. > Play a sport. One way to get yourself motivated to exercise is to make it a game by playing a sport. Join an intramural team or play recreational sports through your school to get active and have fun at the same time. > Use safety equipment. No matter what sport youre playing, make sure to always use the proper safety equipment. It will keep you from getting hurt which will allow you to stay active more often. > Head to the gym. Most schools provide students with gym facilities they can take advantage of for free. Head to the gym between classes or when you get up in the morning to squeeze in a workout. >Take advantage of fitness courses. Along with gym facilities most students will have access to fitness classes they can take. Since youre already paying for these through your tuition you may as well take advantage and get a workout that will help keep you in shape and motivate you. >Walk to class. While taking public transportation might be quicker, walking will give you a chance to stretch your legs, burn some calories and relax before your next class. > Incorporate different kinds of exercise in your routine. When you work out, dont just stick to one kind of workout. Incorporate strength training, cardio and stretching exercises into your routine to make it well rounded. > Make it fun. Youre probably not going to work out if you are bored with your routine or find going to the gym torture. Find a way to make it fun for yourself and youll be much more likely to keep it up. > Bring a friend. With someone else relying on you showing up, youll be much more likely to make the effort to work out. Plus, working out with a friend can be a great way to make working out more fun. > Take advantage of open spaces. Most colleges are equipped with large grassy quads or arboretums with trails you can walk on. Take advantage of these spaces to take hikes, play frisbee or just walk around. #SA (Admin)
