Exercise is Key

-

 


Exercise seems to be harder to fit into our schedules the older we get. From coursework loads to eventually maybe having kids. We all have our time constraints, but it is vital we all get in exercise each day. This includes dedication and commitment. I would say at least a half hour a day is manageable for most full time adults with kids. This could even be you pushing your child in a stroller on a decent walk. Exercise is what builds muscle and endurance. Without consistent exercise, the older we get the more likely we will be inmobile and weak. At the end of the day, we all have a choice to make. Do we want to live long healthy lives, or do we choose not to put in the effort.

    Hey Mario i think that this is a very good topic! You did a very good job and it was very relatable to us as college students with very busy schedules. As for myself i want to live a healthy life and will do what it takes to keep my body healthy by keep moving. I would agree that half an hour is plenty time to get active. If we can carve out time to be on our phones why cant we exercise?

    Hi Mario, I agree exercise is definitely the base of good health and habits. It's really weird how it seems to get harder to fit into our schedules as we age. When I was in high school I would be able to balance 35 hours of school a week and either 10 hours of sports practice or 20+ hours of work a week and still put in around 10 hours of extra time training a week. Now I have more free time than that on paper but on average on get around 5 hours a week of training time in. I think you're right that it really just comes down to dedication and commitment.

    Hey Mario, exercise is a very important part of our daily lives. It keeps up healthy and able to do all of the things we love. I do agree that as we grow it becomes much harder to find time to get our exercise in. Back in high school while many of us were student athletes, exercise was very often after school. As many go off to college, they find themselves without the sport or at least the same intensity level of the sport as intramurals exist.

Sleep is a Need

Sleeping is a Need The right amount of sleep each night is super important. The proper amount of time someone should be sleeping per night is 8 hours. I mean who doesn't like sleep? I feel that we find it hard to find time to sleep as college students. This is a common wellness concern I have for our generation. Not only do we get less sleep, we end up staying up staring at our screens. This seems to be a huge cause for sleeping in class and lack of energy throughout the day. I think I have the perfect solution to this ongoing issue. We as students seem to forget about time management. Many of us end up deciding to do social activities during the daytime instead of focusing on their studies. There are ways of doing this that create a healthier and more productive lifestyles. Some options may be alarms on your phone to mark work or study times, a planner with your day or week mapped out, or whiteboard with a to do list on it. These are all ways to stay on a healthy schedule and to b...

Emotional Wellness

It is so important to be connected with the world around us. Life goes by fast and if you don't stop to look around for a second, you'll miss it. It is also important we speak to each other with emotional maturity. So many of us in college find ourselves overwhelmed by everything. It is vital we take time out of our day to connect with the people and things around us. Walking the the park or going to a lake to fish, alone time can help calm the mind and collect thoughts. If you ever have time, check up on the friends you don't speak to as often, you never know, they could be going through a lot. Your one text or call could mean the world to them. We get so caught up with school work, social life, and family connections. It is important to add balance and to reach out if you need help.
