Although I am lazy about going to the gym, exercise is absolutely necessary for your health. Intramural sports is a great way to stay exercising while having fun.

While a freshmen in college it becomes apparent really fast that the freshmen 15 is a real thing. The added partying and extra drinking will catch up on your body quickly if you don’t keep an eye on it. Something that helped me was befriending people who share the same interests in health and fitness. Having athletic friends around will be a good influence on your own habits and lifestyle. Not only do they provide motivation to go to the gym but if you work out with a partner, competition will develop and provide extra benefits in your workout.
