Make Exercise A Priority

The following suggestions will help you make exercise a priority, even in the busiest weeks and on the tightest budgets:

• Walk whenever possible.
• Walk or jog after a long study session.
• Choose the stairs rather than the elevator.
• Purchase exercise tapes for use at home.
• Do strenuous chores, if your doctor approves, such as raking leaves or mowing the lawn.
• Play team recreational sports – perhaps at a local YMCA or club.
• Use home exercise equipment such as weights, a treadmill or stair machine, or a mat.
• Jog or work out with a friend or family member to combine socializing and exercise.
• Exercise is a key component of a healthy mind and body, as is adequate rest.
