Pinterest Picks of the Week: Winter Workout Edition

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bentley chapter.

Pants getting a tad bit snug with that extra dose of Seasons fries you’ve been awarding yourself for the past month? You aren’t the only one! If you find yourself falling victim to snacking instead of studying and aren’t too sure if you’re in the best looking shape for your break back home, then read on for tips to try and live a healthier lifestyle on campus! Warning: For those of you who contribute your lack of exercise from how far away the Dana Center is from your dorm, you can’t use that excuse anymore!

 

If you’ve scrolled through Yik Yak at any time throughout your stay at Bentley and haven’t come across a Yak criticizing any and all of the food at Seasons, then your Yik Yak account has to be set on some other location far far away from here. Breaking your plate up into the associated veggies, proteins, carbs, and fats your body needs, Mindful Meals Blog gives you the best tips to achieve the healthiest plate you can get—even if it’s at Seasons! Bonus: The blog is written by a registered dietician named Lauren—so that girl definitely knows her stuff!

 

Too far away from the gym so you’re convincing yourself it’s better not to go? Sorry girls—that excuse isn’t going to cut it anymore! Scrolling through the realms of Pinterest, I came across Tone and Tighten where they bring together high intensity interval training, hips, and abdominal workouts for five days to get yourself back in the workout grind from the comfort of your very own dorm room! Feeling like it’s a little too much at once? Modify the intensity of each of your workouts to something you feel the most comfortable with!

 

One of the best Pinterest Picks for this week is this huge graphic chart that breaks down “The Best Regimen for College Fitness” into cardio, strength training, and flexibility. Sadly, the chart’s too big that if we were to post the whole thing, you would need a magnifying glass to read it, but lucky for you, you can access it through Get Fit Diva! Finding it hard to get out of your bad habits and start the path to a healthier life? This graphic even gives you tips to keep you on track of a healthier routine! Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean you have to hibernate and stay on the couch consuming chocolate all day (though sometimes, those days are much needed!)
