5 Tips to Help You Stay Fit
Posted by Vincent | Filed under Productivity
Like many grad students, it seems like I never have enough time to do everything on my todo list. More often than I’d like, my exercising suffers for this lack of time. Here are a few simple tips to help you achieve your fitness goals:
- Take the stairs as often as you can. While taking the stairs is not always an option, like with a group or when you’re in a hurry to go to the tenth floor, it
is a good habit that helps you stays healthy, one step at a time. - Exercise at your desk at least once a day. WebMD has a good article on exercises you can do at or around your desk.
- Run. Running is cheap (all you need are good shoes and a pair of shorts), effective and easy to fit in your schedule, plus you can listen to audiobooks or recorded lectures if you insist on multitasking.
- Do push-ups. Push-ups require no equipment at all, which fits perfectly the student budget. Want a program to follow? Check out one hundred pushups
- Use exercise bands. They’re cheap, small (especially important if you live in a dorm) and can be used for a total body workout. I use them while watching TV.

Good tips here. I love to run, and I try to remember to do push-ups every other day. Doing super-sets of push-ups and sit-ups works great too!

Staying fit is not an easy task. With the all temptation of delicious foods, restaurants and fast foods, people who are on a strict diet should practice self-discipline in order to stay fit.
