Keeping Fit

University can be a stressful experience for anyone. It is important to keep yourself in shape and eat healthily to make it through the long hours of studying and reading! Below are some tips to help you stay fit during your time at St. Peter's College and for the rest of your university career.

Eat often, especially whole grain foods and fruit

Your body digests these foods more slowly, releasing energy more evenly and preventing your body from crashing. This helps to maintain your energy level.

Try to plan meals and work them into your studying schedule

Forgetting to eat or skipping meals will only decrease your ability to concentrate. Planning your meals also helps to control how much and what you are eating

Make sure to sweat for a half hour every day.

Physical activity will help to restore your concentration and will make you feel better. Go for a walk on the grounds, run up and down the stairs a few times or perform several jumping jacks as a study break.

Sleep is extremely important

Not only does it help to maintain your metabolism, it ensures you have energy and concentration for studying. Taking a 20 minute nap is a good way to staying alert, but is no substitute for a solid 8 hours of sleep a night.

Caffeine provides a very short burst of energy

But makes you prone to crashing and increased level of stress. Minimize your caffeine intake by limiting your consumption of coffee, pop and energy drinks. Taking a short, brisk walk is a more effective way of raising your alertness.

Use the fitness facilities at St. Peter's to release your stress.

Training is provided for the equipment in the fitness centre to prevent injury. Never work your body to exhaustion unless you are properly trained!
