Busy College Students: You Too Can Exercise!

Turn your morning trip to school into your workout. Riding your bike to school will give you exercise, with the added benefit of turning time spent waiting at a bus stop into extra sleeping time.

Power walk between classes. As always, beware of crooked bricks!

Opt to take the stairs instead of the elevator. Walking upstairs raises your heart rate and strengthens your glutes, quads, and calf muscles. Jogging upstairs has a multiplicative effect on all of these benefits.

Wake up early to workout. I wouldn’t suggest skipping any sleep, but if you can tweak your schedule to accommodate morning exercise, this is a great way to start the day. Try sleeping in your workout clothes if motivation is an issue.

Workout at work or while you study. Give your brain a break while you put your body to work. Find one of the walking workstations on campus. Also, checkout this link for a whole host of office workout ideas.

Sneak a workout in during your down time. Binge watching Orange is the New Black doesn’t have to be a static experience. Do some push up, sit ups, or squats while you watch.

Set aside a specific time for working out and make it sacred. The best way to make sure the other colorful time blocks don’t squeeze out your exercise is to give it a colorful block of its own.
