3) Find a workout regime that works for you.
“I like to use a YouTube channel called Fitness Blender. I’ve actually created an account and bought workout programs on their website (one time fee and I get it forever.) I get to put a workout program on my calendar and it schedules the workouts for me. They do a variety of targeting programs which gives me more to do than just one specific routine.”–Victoria, sophomore.
2) Avoid salt.
“I barely use any salt when I cook. If you use a lot of salt your taste buds get used to it and you start needing it ‘cause food starts tasting bland without it. I try to make it a habit to work out, so that even when I’m not motivated I still go, ‘cause trust me you won’t always be motivated. And it’s good to make running a habit. It’s a b-tch at first, but it gets easier after one month. I start with trying to run 10 minutes without stopping and then I always just add another 10 and see how far I can go.”–Amelia, sophomore.
1) Don’t shun the coffee.
Taking supplements with high caffeine absolutely help as a pre-workout. They increase blood flow and energy. I only train to maintain strength as of now due to the amount of time I spend at UCF. However, training does boost your confidence, you have an idea of what your limits are in a way and you find out who you are, or a part of you that you wish to improve. I guess that’s what motivates me.”–Camilo, junior.
