Some general fitness tips

In this post, I will share with you all tips about how to maintain a healthy physique.  There is a way to stay fit in college and still go out and have a fun time.
  • Drink a lot of water everyday!! 
  • Aim to work out at least 4-5 times a week for about an hour
    • weight-bearing exercises are great for building healthy muscles, weight loss, and keeping that metabolism up 
      • weights with ab exercises
      • weights with arm reps
        • ladies- you don't need to use more than 10-15 lb weights 
        • it's more about the reps, rather than the lbs
        • the more weight you use may bulk up areas that you wish to keep slim
    • cardio is great for your heart as well as keeping your metabolism going
  • Diet is key! Keep in mind all of the tips and meal ideas I've been posting about
    • I can't stress how important eating a well balanced, healthy diet is for keeping a slim, toned body
  • Eating your meal after you work out is the best because your metabolism is up from the exercise and will begin to burn the food as you eat it 
I will post specific exercises targeting different areas that have worked for both me and my friends so keep checking back with me! Any questions, concerns, comments, or request a topic for me to post about let me know!
