How do I stay healthy during college?
First of all, let me tell you, there are two kinds of people in college, those who want to gain weight and those who want to lose it.Here are some small changes in routine which helped me, and would help everyone to stay fit and in proper shape throughout their college career.Walk n Talk — College is a time when you get loads of calls from parents, or school friends. Whenever you talk, get out of the hostel and walk around. It helps in burning calories unconsciously.Join a Gym — Almost all universities have gym in or around its premises. Identify them, and try to make it a routine to go to gym around 3 to 4 days a week.Get a dumbell — A 15 kg dumbell or two would do wonders. Make it a routine to a do specific number of sets of simple chest or arm workouts. As you progress, increase the number of sets. Applicable if not going to a Gym.Simple exercises or yoga — If you lack access to a dumbell, get a mat and try out simple exercises or yoga. It also helps you to build focus.“Netflix and Chill” is not a good idea — This is one of the most common things done by people in hostels. The idea may sound good, but you have to resist it. If you have such habit, switch what you eat from junk food to good food.Avoid “Gaming sessions with squad" — You never know when this becomes a part of your routine, but all it does is waste your time, and bar yourself from the world outside. Switch from gaming sessions to intense workout sessions!Go for jogging sessions — Speaking of sessions, grab a friend, and jog, in or around the campus. Keep yourself engaged with healthy and motivating talks. Together you can reach greater heights. It also helps to improve your bond with friends.Switch from tea to green Tea — Green tea, with all its antioxidants, is one of the healthiest beverages . One glass of it helps in burning about 70 calories. Buy a packet of green tea bags, and make use of the hot water outlet in your college.Walk alone — Alone necessarily doesn't mean lonely. Sometimes, walking alone, in or around the campus, with some good music, can be one of the greatest moments of relaxation and self discovery. Choose your pace, you don't neccesarily need to run, and you can be fit, both physically, and mentally!

How to start a healthy lifestyle routine?
When you are losing weight, you should exercise and diet together. If you exercise without dieting, you will get bigger appetite, which will lead to increase of weight, or muscle grow underneath the fat layer, and make you bulkier. If you diet without exercising, you will become flabby and will have excess skin. For diet, go wheat free. No pasta, pizza, bread and so on. And no food after 7 p.m. People achieve marvellous results with it. Depending on your initial weight, you can drop upwards from 20 pounds a month. If you don't eat wheat then you don't eat all those sticky, fatty goey cakes, you don't eat junk food, and you don't eat biscuits. But your diet is still balanced. It costs nothing, and you do not have to calculate points or to buy special meals or plans. For exercising, start with walking, and then switch to running/jogging. Running is the most efficient and calorie-burn exercise ever. If you are overweight a lot, walk first or you may have health complications (heart attack, disjointed bones and so on). Weight lifting is a good means to target your problem areas for men and women. It's not necessarily to become a bodybuilder or even join a gym - a couple of dumbbells will help you to target your problem areas (stomach, butt, legs, arms, chest).
Do you have to take gym in college?
Most colleges and degree programs that I know of don't require it. But when I was going for a general Liberal Arts degree they required two PE credits. It was actually sort of fun; I took yoga and martial arts, and they often have other interesting classes as well such as golf, skiing, etc. Other degrees allow PE to fulfill one of your gen eds. Fitness/Well-Being Ventures sounds like more of a health class to me, but if you're that curious you could probably ask your adviser when you sign up for classes. If you have to, shoot for one of the fun PEs.

What should I wear my first day of gym class at a new college?
I have to take a general physical education class to graduate (it's in California, probably explains why its required). I am new at this college so I dont know anyone to ask about what I should wear the first day? I doubt our teacher would have us do any kind of activity the first day..but just to be sure should I wear gym pants and a tee shirt or just regular clothes? I tried to take a yoga class but this physical education class is required..Any answers would be appreciated. And yes, I know it's kind of a dumb question..but its something Ive been wondering about.
Is it hard to stay fit in college?
kids tend to gain some weight going into college because they stop playing sports and their meal plan allows for unlimited pizza, ice cream, soda, etc with no one to tell you to eat healthier. I have not gained weight in college thanks to joining a club team and working out on my own time (every college i visited had a nice gym on campus, and many even have fitness classes like, spin, yoga, zumba, ab lab, etc). I also took a jogging class my first quarter to keep me moving outside of rugby. Just remember your nutrition and exercise, and you will be fine. :) also: as a freshman, you should have plenty of time to hit the gym 4x a week.
Nervous/scared of going to college gym?!?
so my dad works at a college university and i am 15, skinny fat (arms and legs skinny, torso chubby), muscles not that big (sort of weak), and I'm out of shape. But mostly i'm scared of the fact that i'm going to be there alone with a bunch of college students. Any helpful hints?
