Best Careers

College is obviously something that is generally good for you. However, it can do a serious number on your health if you’re not careful. The average college student tends to skip meals, eat heavy late at night and fail to exercise properly. It’s a problem that can be hard for your body to recover from.

Take some tips from my friends at Melville Gibbs College about how to incorporate exercise into your college life:

• Join an exercise class. This is much more effective than joining a gym because it offers a set schedule for when you’ll go work out.
• Exercise with others. Get together a group of friends who are committed to fitting exercise into their school schedules.
• Always take the stairs and walk the long way to your classes. Every little bit helps.

The specifics of how to incorporate exercise into your life at college may vary from school to school. Someone at Harrington interior design school may find that the best way to get exercise is to walk to all of the furniture stores they visit. Someone at Briarcliffe College Bethpage may discover that there’s a great hiking trail near campus.

The point is that you have to make sure to include exercise in your weekly routine or you’re going to risk suffering the harm that college can do to your body. And let’s face it; it’s going to be hard to get a job after you graduate if you lack confidence in who you are.
