The Importance of Exercise

By Gerardo Alfaro



Working out is something for which everyone should save some time. Most adults argue that they are out of time during the day so they don’t exercise. This is also true among college students or at least for some of them such as Dionne Hemming a freshman at the University of Maryland, in the article Workouts not working for college students, who says “at the beginning of the semester I worked out everyday, but now I have too much work, and I am too tired after my classes.” It is however important for college students to workout and exercise because 7 out of 10 Americans according to the article feel better mentally and physically after exercising. So one might wonder why college students don’t exercise more often?

Students should really exercise more often to allow them to blow some steam because college life can be stressful especially during exams or when deadlines for big projects are closing in. Additionally students don’t have to go to the gym they have other choices like dancing, kickboxing and yoga to name a few. There are many activities to choose from and even if the university doesn’t provide those classes students might find them in places nearby their campus. This way students can have a hobby they like which means that they can enjoy themselves and also blow some steam as well as do something towards their health all at the same time. This can be very helpful for all college students, who should really try to make time to exercise.
