confession

Up at school, it seems a big problem is staying in shape while going to school and balancing homework, roommates, work, and for me rock climbing. There are always so many treats, whether at FHE or roommates just having a good time. I have been attempting to stay in shape by running with my roommate Kimberly, but lately my body has been telling me no. The bottoms of my feet hurt like I have broken toes, and my knee occasionally likes to scream at me for moving so much.

So needless to say I have been doing very badly at staying in shape. I have decided to come up with a plan that female college students can follow.

One of the biggest problems for college students is nutrition. I have seen so many people eating crappy food that does nothing for the body. The challenge is finding food that is cheap and nutritious.




Another big problem is finding time to work out. School work is a big responsibility and it seems that now we are being stretched to our limits with classes, homework, and maintaining a social life.



Here are some of the simple things that can be done to improve your body:
1. Drink at least 4 water bottles of water a day(I am at 2 so far!)
2. Do 5 days of cardio for 30-60mins a day.
3. Lift weights 3 days a week
4. Eat more fruits and veggies.
5. Make healthy eating decisions

It is so important to maintain physical fitness in these days. So many people put it on the back burner and focus on other things, but by taking care of our bodies it will increase our quality of life.
