With the aim of helping faculty, staff and students "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 are 10 quick ways you can work toward getting "Get Your 150":
- Do bicep curls with your grocery bags
- Stick to the outer edges of the grocery store (the middle aisles tend to have canned and processed unhealthy foods)
- Go toss a frisbee around with friends on the weekend
- Incorporate different kinds of proteins into your diet
- Join an intramural team with friends
- Incorporate squats and lunges into your laundry routine
- Use washrooms on another floor and take the stairs
- Try to buy fresh, whole foods rather than pre-prepared ones
- When you have to drive, park far away so you have to walk farther
- Eat foods high in protein, they fill you up for longer and help you build lean muscle
