With the aim of helping faculty and staff ‘Get Your 150’ (minutes of recommended exercise a week) to improve health and wellness, the Gazette and Athletics and Recreation will be offering Fit Tips each week.

Here’s 10 quick ways that you can ‘Get Your 150’:

1. Walk to class
2. Plan healthy meals for the week in advance
3. Sit on a yoga ball when doing work at your desk
4. Cut up fruits and vegetables in advance for a healthy snack
5. Pack a lunch
6. Always carry a reusable water bottle
7. Do leg lifts to get blood flowing during those long lectures (night class anyone?)
8. Substitute a short walk for a study break instead of browsing the internet
9. Before bed do five relaxing stretches
10. Do 10 jumping jacks and 10 toe touches when you wake up
