10 Tips How to Avoid the Freshman 15

10. Get plenty of rest, around 6 to 8 hours of sleep a night. Your brain and your body need to rest so make time for shut eye. This keeps your metabolism performing at its best and your GPA sky high.

If you keep motivated, focused and on track, the Freshman 15 will remain an urban legend. Then, the only monkey on your back you’ll leave college with is your student loans, not an extra 15 pounds around your hips!

What’s your plan to avoid the Freshman 15? Is it even on your radar? Did you escape college unscathed? Share your success story or lessons learned! —Kelly

    Great tips! I always used to use the “no gym” excuse, but now ive found online so many different workouts you can do in just a dorm room, plenty of body weight exercises to do too so your resistance training is covered. Setting aside the time is also a big one. If you keep thinking to yourself “oh ill get it done right after this, or this, ect.” it will never get done.
