THE WELLNESS "WHAT'S UP"
Five Exercise Tips
Stretch first. Help yourself avoid injuries by stretching each time you exercise. Simple stretches before and after you work out or engage in physical activity can help keep you active and pain free.
Head to the fitness center. Marygrove College provides students, faculty and staff with fitness center facilities that you can take advantage of for free. Head to the gym between classes or when you get up in the morning to squeeze in a workout.
Take advantage of fitness courses. Along with the fitness center, students have access to fitness classes around the campus. Take advantage and get a workout that will help keep you in shape and motivated.
Bring a friend. With someone else relying on you showing up, you'll be much more likely to make the effort to work out. Plus, working out with a friend can be a great way to make working out more fun.
Play a sport. One way to get you motivated to exercise is to make it a game by playing a sport. Join an intramural team or play recreational sports here at Marygrove to get active and have fun at the same time.
