Why Liftn in College?
A big question I hear from friends and other people I talk to about lifting in college is why. My reply back is always I do it to try in stay in shape and keep off the extra pounds from the poor diet most of us college students eat. Before college I always heard about the freshman 15, I never believed it because why would I gain 15 pounds just being a freshman, well I'll say the freshman 15 got me. That was the turning point for me because I always used to love lifting a working out in high school and I worked so hard for it all to disappear all because of a poor diet and not lifting. That is when I decided to get a workout pass because I didn't want to continue down this path of laziness. Honestly it was one of the best decisions I've made in college and I will recommend it to anyone because it really does improve your life.

I agree with you 100%. I was an athlete my whole life and was so use to exercising everyday and lifting that when I came to college it was weird to me. After gaining the famous "freshman 15 and then some" I decided as well that I should get back into the gym. Since then, I haven't regretted it. Staying active and being healthy has turned my life around. I hope everyone takes your advice and at least try to exercise.
ReplyDeleteFor me exercise has become played a much larger role in my life the past two years than it did earlier in my life. I almost weighed 300 lbs at one point and I decided to stop being so unhealthy. There should never be someone asking anyone "why" they are working out. There are so many benefits to it. Everyone should try to better themselves with working out and being healthy.
