"There is something in the world you can always improve, this is yourself"
I have always been an active person throughout my whole childhood and through high-school. At age three I was already taking karate classes and dancing. I did both karate and dance for thirteen years, until I got to high-school. It was when I hit high-school I decided if I wanted to do a sport within my school that having dance twice a week as well as karate twice a week wouldn't work out. Freshman year of high school I did track, which was a lot different from any exercise I had done before. After that I did cheer for the rest of my high school career. Now you may think cheer...not that much of exercise but let me tell you IT IS. Cheer was at least five days a week for three hours. That wasn't even during competition season either. It was a lot of physical activity everyday. And then BAM I moved into college and completely stopped working out. I went from being so active to doing absolutely no physical activity. I started to notice huge differences in my mood and my overall well-being. My sleep schedule was horrendous, my diet was very undernourished, and I was miserable and anxious 24/7. Everyone was telling me to go to the gym and I will feel so much better. But the problem was I had no idea what to do once I got there, it would be pointless for me to even go. So you dint end up like me here are some tips on how to create a fitness plan while in college, sounds tough but if you stick to it and are determined then it'll work.
1. Start with planning out how many times a week you would like to get to the gym.
- I would start off low, try going three days a week and if that is going good bump it up to four or even five days.
2. Figure out what to do at the gym
- Online there are millions of workout guides for free. Figure out what part of your body you would like to train and then search online "Workouts for Glutes and Hammys" and you will for sure find a nice set of workouts.
3. Stay consistent
- Staying consistent is SO important. Even on days that you are really unmotivated to get. up and go, just push through and go. I promise you those unmotivated days you will get your best workouts in. Funny how it works.
4. Drink lots of water and eat healthy
- Water, water, water! Drinking lots of water was something I still struggle with but water is extremely good for you and will do good things for you ;) As far as eating healthy, I want to create another blog post for just that. But for now try to eat lots of fruits and veggies. I also like to stay away from packaged and processed food. When you have the chance choose fresh and organic. Stick to proteins like chicken and steak. YUM. You can also look up healthy recipes online if you want more detail.
