Exercise and Health

Whether you’re a Communications major or a Computer Science Mathematics major or anything in the between you have experienced up’s and downs in your academic lifestyle. Incorporating exercise can not only help your body physically, but mentally too. With mountains of information coming in from all over the web and world, the signal is clear. Individuals whom exercise at least 1 hour a day are more likely to have higher grades and have more successful relationships than those who do not.

Exercise can clear your mind of the endless amounts of stress that can occur within the college experience. Pop quizzes, random exams and assignments are the college student’s state of normalcy. With developing relationships and new one’s comes the unintentional stress factor that can either be a positive driving force for college students, or a negative one. The balance and the trick is to find out a safe and productive way to manage and eliminate unnecessary stress.

Picking up a aerobic sport such as jogging, or walking can be an easy solution to drop that “freshman 15” or just bring you back to homeostasis. Finding a life sport should be a priory for many individuals. A lot of us were not blessed to represent a college or university for our athletic abilities. But, if you want and still have the ambition to be an athlete and healthy, the option is yours. Find a sport, many can individual or a team setting and start building positive, healthy relationships within these common guidelines. Eliminating your unnecessary stress and building positive thoughts while exercising, might be one of the best things you can do while battling the stresses of college.

Students have been getting better grades when your schedule is filled with important and positive activities. From sun up to sundown having a set schedule, in my opinion can be the difference between a 2.0 student and a 3.0 and upwards.

Look at it like this, if you spend an hour in your car everyday commuting to and from school and work, you probably have a lot of built up ammonsity and stress along with these. If you could take 30minutes to an hour a day and critically think while exercising about your goals, beliefs, future a head, and other important details in your life. You will have a more successful college experience. Becoming busy, is becoming successful too.
