00:00:00.446 --> 00:00:05.756
>> I think a good healthy amount of exercise
is once you've worked up a good sweat.

00:00:06.356 --> 00:00:10.076
>> I figure 15 to 20 minutes a day.

00:00:10.116 --> 00:00:15.006
>> I think from things that I've heard enough
exercise has always been the 30 minutes

00:00:15.136 --> 00:00:15.976
of cardio.

00:00:15.976 --> 00:00:22.476
>> What I do for exercise is I like
to lift weights most of the time,

00:00:22.476 --> 00:00:26.496
and I know that's not enough because my cardio
is really bad, and I've been trying to alleviate

00:00:26.496 --> 00:00:30.336
that with a lot more walking and running on the
treadmills, and I can't do that now obviously,

00:00:30.966 --> 00:00:33.086
but as of right now, I'm going
through physical therapy,

00:00:33.136 --> 00:00:37.286
which is helping me do some cardio exercises
that don't involve, you know, getting on my legs

00:00:37.286 --> 00:00:40.946
and moving around because there is
a way to do cardio without having

00:00:40.996 --> 00:00:42.466
to exert any pressure on your legs.

00:00:43.476 --> 00:00:47.646
>> I like going for walks or jogs
and sometimes taking friends with me.

00:00:48.766 --> 00:00:51.466
I would say I probably don't
get enough exercise per week.

00:00:52.186 --> 00:00:54.066
>> Usually I do walking.

00:00:54.476 --> 00:01:02.126
I'll do curls, you know, lats, and some
forearm presses, you know, things like that,

00:01:02.526 --> 00:01:07.676
leg press, front and back, bench press.

00:01:08.316 --> 00:01:13.916
>> I don't exercise as often as I would like to
as a full time student, but when I do have time,

00:01:13.916 --> 00:01:18.026
I found that really what works
for me is yoga in the morning.

00:01:18.026 --> 00:01:20.906
It kind of helps wake you up, or
depending on the type of yoga,

00:01:20.906 --> 00:01:23.606
you can do it at night to help you go to bed.

00:01:23.876 --> 00:01:26.936
The complications of work and school together,

00:01:26.936 --> 00:01:30.056
I kind of feel like I don't
have enough time to exercise.

00:01:30.946 --> 00:01:33.166
So, maybe that's an excuse, but-

00:01:33.166 --> 00:01:39.026
>> I am currently enrolled in a Tai Chi class,
which is very fun and a great way to exercise

00:01:39.026 --> 00:01:42.476
as well as walking around our beautiful
campus and throughout the community.

00:01:44.036 --> 00:01:50.356
I believe I get a good amount of exercise,
but more would probably be better.

00:01:50.636 --> 00:01:52.796
>> So one of the best ways
to fit physical activity

00:01:52.796 --> 00:01:58.906
in your day is just get a physical activity
class squeezed into your schedule somewhere.

00:01:58.906 --> 00:02:03.846
So I took took cross-training, and
that had sort of a wide variety.

00:02:03.846 --> 00:02:05.106
It had rehab trainers.

00:02:05.106 --> 00:02:06.526
You had Stairmasters.

00:02:07.096 --> 00:02:09.395
It had weights and treadmills.

00:02:09.395 --> 00:02:10.096
We have yoga.

00:02:10.096 --> 00:02:11.926
We have Tai Chi.

00:02:12.036 --> 00:02:13.156
Tennis is also really big.

00:02:13.156 --> 00:02:14.896
We have a bunch of tennis courts on campus.

00:02:15.336 --> 00:02:17.226
>> Sitting for too long is not good for you.

00:02:17.826 --> 00:02:22.656
You want to make sure that you get up
and do some sort of walking or stretching

00:02:23.456 --> 00:02:26.666
for if you're sitting longer
than 20 to 30 minutes at a time,

00:02:27.296 --> 00:02:32.016
and you can even find apps online or in
the app store on your phone to help you

00:02:32.016 --> 00:02:34.476
or remind you to not sit so long.

00:02:35.376 --> 00:02:39.226
There definitely is ways to
work exercise into our schedule.

00:02:39.296 --> 00:02:43.756
There's a bunch of fliers from
Maureen, the nurse, on ways you can work

00:02:43.756 --> 00:02:47.906
out around the campus, on how many times
you can make laps around the reservoir.

00:02:48.156 --> 00:02:53.976
>> Doing 30 minutes a day of exercise
can be very beneficial for your body.
