Walk around campus. Walking to your classes can burn several calories. Keep a pedometer with you to keep count of how many steps you’ve taken and calories you’ve burned.
Congratulations to the Tiger men’ s basketball team for being ranked #22 in the nation!
Find a workout buddy. Working out with friends can make the dreaded workout a more exciting experience. A workout buddy is also great for motivating you to stay with your workout routine.
Make better food choices. Taco Bell, Burger King, and Dunkin Donuts are all places to eat on campus that may seem unhealthy. However, they also offer a few healthy choices. So before you order three nacho supremes, ask for the restaurant’s nutrition facts.
Be creative with your workout. Sometimes there is just not enough time to hit the gym, but this doesn’t mean your workout has to suffer. Find exercises that use your own body weight that can be done anywhere. Jumping Jacks and crunches are a good start.
Plan Ahead. With a jammed packed school schedule it’s easy to make an excuse not to go to the gym. Make a schedule in advance and avoid going home before you hit the gym so you won’t be tempted to stay home and hangout after a long day. Get a Trainer. The U of M offers fit tests and personal training sessions to students. For a nominal fee, a trainer will give find a fitness plan that works for you and give you essential tips to reach your health goals. Join a team. The U of M has several intramural sports throughout the year students can sign up for. Take advantage of the opportunity to exercise and bond with other students.
