Great Tips!
Before my daughter started college she read a book with college survival tips and it warned about the freshman 15. So she made time to exercise a few days each week. When she was a
senior she and some friends started a performing dance group. Had she not been warned about the freshman 15 it probably would have slipped up on her like it did me.

My daughter is now into the habit of exercising on a regular basis. I haven’t really started yet, but I am practicing holding my tummy in off and on daily to flatten it. I also drink more water.

@Dream Mom – Where I went to college required everyone to take an exercise class and run three miles every semester. To get an A on the running part you had to do the three miles in 21 minutes. Females got a few more minutes. You could also bike, walk, swim or use some hand powered device.

My first year in college, some 25 years ago, I started gaining weight (Freshman 15). I decided to take an exercise class every semester. That way, exercise was built into my day plus I learned about a particular sport. I did this all through college and never had a weight problem.

As an adult, a step counter and walking outside works well.

I found a great replacement for the gym. I started using the dusty weight bench in my garage. After two days I was feeling motivated and the dust was gone!
