What Happened?

     You wake up with four minutes to get to class, and you have that extremely important paper due. What do you do? Grab the paper, grab some clothes, and walk awkwardly fast to class. You're walking so fast that you feel stupid, but that eight pager certainly won't be submitted late. As you get to the classroom, you're completely exhausted and can barely catch your breath as you drop your assignment on the table next to the TA, who is probably wondering why you look like you just ran a marathon. 
     Did I just run a marathon? Hmmm…no I walked for four minutes.

     Varsity soccer for three years and track throughout high school, but I feel like I’ve been sitting and staring at a wall my entire life -- a very unfit wall for that matter. What happened? Oh that’s right, I’ve been doing homework, playing video games, and sleeping for the last six months since college started. And now quickly walking to class is a struggle, imagine if I tried to run…..... Sound familiar? 
     Those old people have told you it’s not that hard to stay in shape in college, you just have to be disciplined, blah blah blah. But you know it’s not that easy. At all. People who are already in shape have no issue discussing how it is not so hard to get into shape, but being in this college athletic slump, you are not in shape and have little motivation at the moment to ever get into shape. Are you bound to be stuck like this forever? I think not, stay tuned. There is light at the end of this collegiate tunnel, and the journey through the darkness can actually be quite enjoyable with the right approach to college fitness.
