Get fit this spring
March 5, 2015
As spring approaches, and WY students shed those comfortable layers, many students find themselves searching for a new fitness regime.For those looking to dedicate the time and focus towards building a stronger and healthier body, the following program is an effective beginners introduction to strength training.
The most important things to remember in any fitness routine, is that consistency is key. Even the best program will not yield results if you skip out on days at the gym. Additionally, a good physique is made primarily outside the gym, so try your best to avoid junk food, drink plenty of water throughout the day, get adequate rest and sleep, and you will see results, both in the mirror, and in the weight room.
