Being a student in college will definitely be the best four years of your life. Think about it: you spend some of your day in classes, but the remainder of your time is spent exactly how you choose it. You can study, go out, stay up late, eat whatever you want, be a couch potato, not answer to your parents (most of the time), and so much more. With all this freedom at our fingertips, this leaves us with decisions that will shape our lives during those four years. Two of the most important things we can do for our bodies in college are to choose healthy eating options and to exercise regularly. It is not the easiest thing to do because when we aren’t doing school-related activities, most of us want to let loose and have some fun. Well, I have found some great blogs that are perfect for college girls who want to have fun while also living a healthy life. They provide tips on healthier food options as well as easy fitness tips.
I have rounded up five blogs that I have followed in the past and that I follow now. The great thing about blogs is that they are everywhere! I usually find great ones on Pinterest (like most of these) or from word-of-mouth through friends and relatives. So, definitely check these awesome blogs out and use them to maintain a healthy lifestyle in the hectic and crazy college days!
1. Katie’s Fitness Rx
The first blog I want to share is by an amazing girl from my hometown. Her name is Katie Ringley, she is currently studying pharmacy at Campbell University School of Pharmacy, and she is also a Beachbody coach. Her mission is based in spirituality and includes taking care of our bodies because they are our temples. She has a Facebook page as well as a blog, and they are both extremely helpful in guiding young people towards a healthier lifestyle. She provides simple fitness tools and healthy foods that she does in her everyday life. Her blog also includes information about eating disorders, which can affect many college-aged girls. I definitely recommend checking out her blog and following “Katie’s Fitness Rx” on Facebook!
