The Plan

Chapter 4: The Plan

Exercising comes at a cost. It will take some time away from doing certain activities, just like how every new addition to your life will. Working out and creating healthy habits are just as similar as other changes an individual tries to implement in their own personal life. For instance, most college students desire change in their time management which will require them to withdraw certain habits and activities that they usually do. As college students, we need to be acceptable for positive change to better ourselves in academic and healthy aspects. We will always have an excuse if we are not discplined enough. It is imperative to rule out all of the actives that will not best suit you in the future. An example of this will include spending countless hours on the couch, watching television, or playing video games. We can substitute this with healthy alternatives such as walking outside, or doing physical activities. I love to work out because it is an outlet for challenge and discipline.

Making an exercise plan will prepare you mentally and physically. Plans are important because it will give you an organized set-up to your day. Also, plans promote consistency, which will motivate one to increase their confidence and ability to fulfill the plan for that day. There is an exercise website which will give you steps on how to do a certain excessive for a particular muscle. It has meal plans and day by day exercises for different body parts. For my exercises, I use what I call a " Three Day- split," which you can find directly below.
