Being a student and trying to keep fit is not easy. Chucking a pizza in the oven or calling the local kebab shop can sometimes seem the easiest option when you have been in lectures all day and just cant be bothered to cook! It may be the easiest but it certainly is not the healthiest, and three years of living away from home and staying a university with a bad diet will take its toll.
I have always tried to eat healthily, being conscious of what I cook, I didn't want to use uni as the excuse as to why I may put on weight. My first year living in halls it was all about going out with friends, getting drunk, definitely not exercising.
Now in my second year and more aware of how important exercise is to keep fit, I have joined the gym. I thought new year, new me! Its all well eating healthy but without working out it can seem a bit pointless. For only £20 a month I couldn't say no; student off-peak membership works perfectly for me because it means a cheaper fee and allows me access to the gym at quieter times.
This is by far one of best new year resolutions I have thought of, and a resolution that I will stick to! Music blasting in my ear, an energetic atmosphere really gets me in the mood for a good work out, and I feel great afterwards, the sluggish feeling I had last year is no longer there.
