advise

im also a college student trying to get in shape before heading back in september. most of the exercise i do is running cause its cheap - all you need are a pair of good running shoes. (and my ipod helps). at first, i hated hauling myself out the door to go run. but i've found a few things that help. find somewhere scenic by your house that's a little nicer than just running on the street. there's a great waterfront trail near where i live. and i always run away from my house. so i go for as long as i can but i still have to turn around and come back so i'm pushing myself extra hard. also, dont be afraid to walk. walking at a fast pace burns calories too. and enjoy yourself. play your music, take some time for yourself, maybe half way through your workout find a nice place to just sit and think or breathe or meditate or just be for a while. i've really come to value my outdoor exercise time.
