College Friendly Workouts

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

    College dining halls can be very tempting with endless pizza and dessert tables. If you’re a freshman, I’m sure you’re worrying about the freshman fifteen. While avoiding those foods is possible, it can be hard to do. But, doing some of these exercises you can binge on that dining hall food and not worry about your weight!

  • Trying to find time to get the gym can be a struggle but it is possible! If you only have a half hour that’s okay, it’s better than nothing! You just have to have a plan. An example that you can follow is:
    • 15 minutes of cardio
    • 15 minutes of abs
  • If you have class and don’t want to get sweaty during your workout, that’s possible too!
    • Five – Ten – Fifteen Workout
      • Five push ups, 10 crunches, 15 squats
      • Rest 10 seconds
      • Five lunges each side, 10 reverse crunches, 15 second plank
      • Repeat cycle five times
  • Dorm room workout for when you don’t feel like leaving your dorm!
    • One minute plank
    • One minute wall sit
    • 40 squats
    • 15 tricep dips
    • 40 crunches
  • Bed Workout!
    • Hip Bridges – 20
    • One legged bridges – 15 each side
    • 50 Bike Crunches
    • One minute of leg lifts
