It is very important for college students to keep up with our self-care and mental health. One of the ways I do this is through exercise which is one of the most important principles of life for me.
Throughout my boxing routine, it is completed within a class as it usually benefits my ability to lose weight. Particularly, a group cardio boxing class is my main workout. I enjoy having instructors ask me and the group what to do. Technically, the instructor in my group boxing cardio class tells me whether I need to be at the boxing or weight lifting bench station depending on where I started. Switching things up makes it fun and easy to pay attention and not miss any instruction.
I like going to the gym at Rutgers, it’s social and I am able to complete a workout! I keep track of how long I am doing this specific cardio gym machine to find out if it is enough endurance for me. I work on building my endurance either with or without class cardio workouts. I keep my number of minutes per exercise different in which I always like to do them for 30 or over minutes. I like to change my individual cardio gym routine between bike, treadmill, elliptical, or steps.
Either at home in Westfield or on campus, walking helps me stay stress free as it is one of my key routines for when I workout. Moreover, I really enjoy listening to music with my headphones throughout my walking exercise routines because it is a good sign for me to keep my brain checked in. Obviously, walking is the best stress free method for me because I really enjoy going outside for fresh air.
I ran winter and spring track for all 4 years of high school. I can always go for a run to recharge and feel great. Whenever I go for runs outdoors, I use either a map, my run app or my watch to keep track of the minutes and miles I run whenever I run individually. Additionally, both the map my run app and watch really help me balance my weight for when I complete my outdoor jogging exercise task. Alternatively, I like to go for outdoor runs whenever the temperature is mild.
Weight lifting is great for making my arms stronger and muscular. Alternatively, I like to increase the size of the weight per weight lifting workout routine. For example, whenever I do the bicep curls with dumbbells, I like to change the size from 30 to 35. To illustrate this point, 30 and 35 size are my strengths when using dumbbells. I hope to do a 40 size dumbbell of bicep curls one day.
I try to make sure I have enough time to complete my tasks which are influenced by what I need to get done. Moreover, I set plans for myself with how I am going to play out how much time I will spend on each specific task of my to-do list. For example, whenever I set a routine plan of working out on my to-do-list, I want to make sure I have an efficient amount of homework or studying done in order to save enough time for me to go to the gym. Obviously, both homework and workout plans for a to-do list are a very big benefit for my time management whenever I do not have other activities.
