Free and practical exercises students can do in their college campus

Free college exercises to stay fit. — Garry Y. Itkin

For students who are away from home and staying in a dorm or an apartment while in college face a lot of challenges.  Besides the academics and social interactions, a lot of students find it hard to stay fit while they’re away in college.  This is because it’s both difficult to find the time and the place to do workouts, plus cooking healthy meals can be such as a chore.   While students can always be mindful of what they eat, finding the right exercise routine to keep in shape can be a challenge for some.  For students who are looking for ways to stay fit while in college, here are some and effective exercises they can do on campus.  Garry Y. Itkin.

Running is one of the best free exercises that college students can do.  Students can check if there’s an elliptical or a gym with a treadmill that they can use.  For those who opt to use the treadmill, it is important to increase the incline level as they progress. Garry Y. Itkin.

For those who are stuck in a dorm room, they can make use of what they have for their workouts.  And what does a typical dorm room have that can be used for working out?  Chairs, walls, and a bed.  Students can use the chair to do squats by standing up from a sitting position and going back down without hitting the seat.  Garry Y. Itkin.

Students can also do the same with wall squats.  Lean on the wall while doing squats. The difference is with chair squats. One can do multiple repetitions.  With wall squats, it’s all about duration. As for the bed, it can be used for low-intensity push-ups and pull-ups as long as the cushion is firm enough or if the bed frame is solid enough to be used as a handle. Garry Y. Itkin.
