If You Really Want To Get The Most Out Of Your Workout, You'll Start Exercising With A Buddy

Grab your racquets and head out to play tennis or badminton with your loved ones if you are not doing so already! According to the Copenhagen City Heart Study (CCHS) conducted by doctors, getting involved in sports such as tennis or badminton amplifies the longevity of many people as they are classified as "team sports." Even something like going out cycling with your partner along with a group of friends triggers even more terrific moments of camaraderie and positivity that produces excellent heart health results. It's as if you are killing two birds with one stone by partaking in these group activities.

Being a part of a team or a partnership does, in fact, attenuate your psychological sense of belonging and completeness. You are far more active if you have a "cheerleader" by your side most of the time. As TIME writer, Jamie Ducharme underscores in her article, "Partner sports also tend to be more enjoyable than solitary exercise, O'Keefe says, which can potentially enhance mental health and increase long-term adherence to an exercise routine."

In other words, engaging in an activity with people exhibits more benefits than remaining solo.

Meaningful social connections branch out from these riveting activities and that is what contributes to radiant health and longevity. The more you choose to distance yourself from your vibrant and lively surroundings, the less you will be able to remain energetic yourself.

Essentially, a person's infectious laughter is usually the result of being with friends and family who bring out the best in you! Team sports are vital catalysts engineered to further promote an elevated range of motion and decrease your chances of cardiovascular diseases.

Moreover, interacting with others elicits an elixir of youth and will steadily make you age like wine. Playing a few rounds of tennis or badminton will make you embrace life exactly the same way you did when you were a little kid! Little by little, most of your piled up stress will escape down the tunnel once you begin taking interest in team sports rather than running off to the gym to get your daily dose of exercise and recreation.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
