Build Muscle – Get Strong

Hectic class schedules make it difficult to find the time to workout.  They wake up early, go to school, come home, eat, study and go to bed. It’s a pattern that’s repeated over and over as students become a slave to time. It interrupts social lives and unfortunately, it also leaves little or no time to get to the gym, pass the football around or shoot a few hoops.

Keeping muscles toned and staying in shape doesn’t require a time consuming trip to the gym.  All it takes is a abut 10-12 minutes three times a week with some Bodylastics fitness tubes.  There’s an optional circuit training DVD available, too.

There’s always time time to do a few reps.  Keep a band or two in a convientent place like a desk draw, next to your bed or couch, in a gym bag, back pack or your car’s glove box.  Then start pulling!

• Before showering.
• When you get up to stretch for a few minutes.
• During commercial breaks when watching TV.
• Waiting around for friends.
• While waiting for the microwave.
• Challenge your roommate to a rep dual.
