1. First, do research!

Everyone's body is different, so what works for your friends may not work for you.

2.Try to start your fitness journey within 24 hours of reading this! Stop putting it off! You don't have to wait until New Years to set your goals. You don't have to wait until next winter to start working on your summer body.

3. Join a gym and actually GO!

Grab a buddy if it is too intimidating to go by yourself. If you don't know what exercises to do, go to a class. Most gyms have fitness classes like Zumba, yoga, spin, or kick boxing.

3. Join an intramural or club sport.

If you know you won't work out directly on your own, do an activity that will force you to.

5. Take advantage of the area around you.

Go hiking, swimming, or biking!

6. Change your diet.

Cutting out greasy foods and sugary drinks can go a long way. Also, meal prep may be tedious but it is worth it! If you make all of your meals for the week on Sunday, you won't have to worry about ordering pizza because you don't feel like cooking.

7. Go for morning or evening jogs.

Even if you aren't the best runner, the more you do it, the better you will become.

8. Do simple workouts in the comfort of your own home.

You don't need any form of equipment to do a few sets of push-ups, sit-ups, and squats a day.

9. Do a combination of things listed above! Just be active.
