I love to sweat. Sounds pretty weird, but I promise it always makes sense once I say I am a huge fan of working out. At home, I run for miles and do ab workouts in the driveway. So naturally, when coming to college I was worried how I would be able to balance everything plus be consistent with my workouts. I soon found my rhythm and found that going to the gym benefited me in multiple ways.
1. It relieves my stress.
School work and a social life can totally put a downer on your mood and stress you out. The amount of stress your body endures during the week is ridiculous, so I find it super important to go to the gym and release all my negative energy. Usually, if I am super stressed I go to the gym ALONE- this is extremely important because you solely have to worry about yourself.
2. My body is in its best shape
Although I always loved working out, it didn't become an important aspect of my day until college. Since I have been going daily, my body has become healthier. I may not be the skinniest thing on the block, but I definitely feel more comfortable with my body since making the gym a priority in my life.
3. Its become an activity all of my friends participate in!
Not feeling stressed? Go with friends! It definitely makes my workouts a lot more fun as well as motivates me to work harder. It is also amazing to see my friends being encouraged to go to the gym and live healthier lifestyles.
