Fitness

How well we treat our body determines how well it performs.  When it comes to exercise most people don’t seem to have the time or a preferable way to meet their exercise needs. 

If there is a will, there is a way:

  • NO TIME?—try scheduling 30 minutes of exercise the way you would schedule in a class, to have a consistent schedule that will last you the whole semester!
  • ACCESS to the Fitness and Recreation Center = ACCESS to a weight and cardio room, 2 pools, a track, several gymnasia, squash and racquetball courts, and a climbing wall.
  • TRY—one of the many gym classes that are offered at BU.
  • OR—start an intramural team with your friends to socialize and exercise!
  • NO GYM?—jog, ride a bike, take a walk, practice martial arts, dance…and many other things!

Remember:

  • A well balanced exercise routine
  1. gets your heart pumping
  2. strengthens muscles
  3. increases flexibility
  • Exercise decreases weight and lowers the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and certain types of cancer.
  • Exercise burns off stress hormones like cortisol that can otherwise build up and weaken your immune system.
  • Exercise releases endorphins that create a happier mood!
