How to Lose the Freshman 15
Published November 23, 2011 Get-Fit Guy 1 CommentTags: freshman 15, stress, weight loss
It’s something that can happen to any student. And it has nothing to do with timed essay questions or complex mathematical equations.
It’s called the Freshman 15, a significant amount of weight gained by many students just entering college, although 15 pounds is only true to about 5% of students. Majority would gain only about 3 to 10 pounds.
What Causes The Freshman 15?
via sciencedaily.com
1. Poor Food Options
Poor and inexpensive food choices of hot dogs, peanut butter, cheap steak, energy drinks, frozen stir fry vegetables are a common occurrence. For many students, the diet becomes irregular, meals get skipped, and food preparation becomes hectic. More meals get eaten either A) from unhealthy cafeteria foods or B) from highly processed foods in packages and containers, since these are perceived as cheaper and more convenient. The result is lots of nutrient-void calories, and subsequent weight gain.

How to Treat Sore Muscles

By Get-Fit Guy
Rather than simply resting a sore muscle, light physical activity and stretching can increase blood flow and minimize soreness. In addition, other useful activities include a brief cool-down walk or stretch directly after a workout, ice massage or an ice bath/shower, foam roller or massage therapy, topical anti-inflammatories like Arnica rub and Magnesium oil, and compressive wraps like Ace bandages.
Below is a video of a favorite soreness-reducing foam roller I use called a Rumble Roller.
Congrats to Get-Fit Guy!

Do you have these abs? (via Melanie-m/Flickr)
If you’re eating a healthy diet and staying physically active, there’s no reason you shouldn’t have a flat stomach, right? In reality, it’s just not that simple. If you really want washboard abs, or even just a tighter tummy, then you need to incorporate exercises that create a belt of muscle around your entire mid-section. This belt serves to draw in the waist and keep the stomach flat.
Your flat stomach exercise routine should be done 2-4 times per week, and ideally include each of the following: Continue reading ‘How to Get Washboard Abs – Fast!’
