Why Should College Students Exercise?
College is a very important and exciting period in your life. During these years you are going to experience a lot of new things, meet new friends who you will hopefully keep for life, and do a lot of the things that will help define who you are and more importantly, who you are going to be for the rest of your life. As with all big things in life however, with all the opportunities and chances that college offers, it also brings an element of risk, and no small amount of stress.
There will be pressures on your from all directions. Your parents and family will be expecting you to do well in your studies. Your tutors will also want to see clear and fresh thinking from you and may expect a level of commitment that you are not used to. You will have a lot of social pressures as you make new friends and find your place to settle in to your new life. You may have financial pressures as you struggle to meet bills and pay for everything, perhaps for the first time in your life. Even just moving out of home and having to cook and look after yourself can be a big pressure for a lot of young people. Don't underestimate the intensity of all of these challenges and take the time to evaluate how you are doing and what you need.
For all of these reasons it is important that you do some form of physical activity while you are in college. Exercise gives you confidence and a sense of control over you life. Whether or not you have been active in high school, you should aim to be in college. If you took part in a lot of sport during school then it is always a shame if you let these stop simply because you are in a new setting. You do not have to be the star of the team or anything, but find some people to play your favourite sport with, or go for a run or a swim or a bike ride or even a regular walk. If you haven't been very active up till now, then starting a new life at college is an excellent time to begin.
You may also notice that your lifestyle has some unhealthy elements at college, such as eating a lot of fast food and drinking more alcohol than you are used to. Rather than resorting to all sorts of drugs to relieve stress and anxiety give exercise a shot. You will not regret it.

Breakthrough Cardio to Burn More Fat
The usual recommended 30-60 minute cardio workouts do not burn fat. Not after the first couple weeks anyway. Here's why. Your body adjusts to the activity so that it conserves more energy and burns fewer calories. Your body is in better shape. That's true enough. It has become better toned and more efficient by using the body's reserve energy more efficiently. Fat loss from this point on comes much more slowly.
Compare world class sprinters to marathoners. The typical sprinter has muscular, lean body mass and a very low body fat percentage. The marathoner is most often gaunt with no apparent muscle tone and most often a higher body fat percentage than the sprinter. Almost exactly the opposite of what you would expect. Also there are not too many people who would choose to have the marathoner's physique over the sprinter's lean, chiseled body.
The reasoning behind the difference in the body fat percentage of the sprinter and the marathoner is that the human body is better designed for quick bursts of energy exertion followed by a short recovery period. Your body responds differently to repeated stop and go movement than it does to constant movement. You can put this knowledge to use in your own workout routines to be sure that your cardio exercise is actually accomplishing the fat burning that you thought it was.
Physiology research supports the benefits of cardio interval training. Research suggests that same pace, long period cardiovascular exercise can increase the production of free radicals in the body that can trigger a pro-inflammatory response making some chronic diseases statistically more probable. Sore knees and other aching joints following an endurance cardio workout are early indications of joint degeneration.
Interval cardio training, on the other hand, is linked to increased anti-oxidant production in the body and an anti-inflammatory response instead of a pro-inflammatory response, a more efficient nitric oxide response (which can encourage a healthy cardiovascular system), and an increased metabolic rate response which contributes to fat burning and more consistent weight loss. In fact, interval cardio training can keep your metabolism boosted for many hours after the exercise period is completed. That is a nice bonus.
Of course one major reason you do cardio is to improve your heart health. Here too interval or cyclic training beats out cardio endurance training. Steady pace cardio trains the heart only within a narrow heart rate range. Stresses and shocks to your heart and nervous response system in real life happen suddenly. In these stressful situations your heart rate and blood pressure can increase dramatically in just a few seconds and fall again just as quickly when the stressor has passed.
Even expected everyday stresses at work or at home can make your blood pressure and heart rate suddenly increase rapidly. Constant pace cardio endurance training does not prepare your heart to handle sudden changes in heart rate and blood pressure as well as cardio interval training.
Step Aerobics can be an effective cardio interval exercise. It is already one of the most popular cardio exercises among women so many can participate immediately. The routine is to perform over a 15 to 30 minute exercise period short bursts of intense activity followed by short recovery periods.
Bicycling is popular even in metropolitan areas. The same routine is followed here. Short bursts of intense activity followed by recovery at a leisurely pace.
Wind sprints are probably the best form of high intensity interval training. Even you are not capable of blazing speed the energy burst will boost your metabolism into fat burning mode. If your knees and ankles are in reasonably good condition then jumping rope should be high on your list. You can jump rope almost anywhere - indoor and out - and it's cheap as it gets. 15-30 minutes of intense energy bursts and short recoveries will burn more calories - and body fat - than hours of slow paced, long duration cardio.

Just How Long Exactly You Should Exercise
Every fitness expert tells you something different: Don't exercise every day. You have to take a day off to restore and rebuild your muscles. Every other day is best. You need 45 minutes of aerobic exercise a day - every day; just to maintain your current weight. If you lift weights, you can go to the gym every day. However, you should work different parts of your body. Just walk every day for 30 minutes. You don't need to do anything else. Swimming is the best exercise there is. Just put an exercise bike in your TV room and bike as you watch TV. That's all you need.
Get a treadmill. Then you don't have to face people at the gym. The gym is just a 'pick-up' place. Gym memberships are so expensive. I paid so much and keep paying because I'm on a contract, but I never go. There's no time. I lost a whole dress size after I cleaned out my colon. No exercise needed. Just eat grapefruits for ten days. Nothing else. Works like a charm. I'm sure you've heard all of these, but what's myth and what's fact?
The truth is there is fact in all of the above. They all work for a little while. But, as in learning styles, everyone's different. What works for one person may not work for another. So, what is the long-term answer to how to stay physically healthy? I believe variety is the key. Don't put 'all your eggs in one basket.' Don't do just one thing. Do it all. Switch it up often. If you continue to do the same thing over and over you will get bored with your exercise routine. Then you will drop it. And the muscle will turn to jiggling gelatin and the pounds will creep up. Do some indoor work and some outdoor work.
Even if it's cloudy outside, the sun is behind those clouds. Sometimes exercise with a group of people and sometimes exercise alone. Sometimes have a walking/jogging buddy... and sometimes go it alone. And don't forget the music. Remember that music soothes the savage beast. Have different tunes on your MP3 player or I-pod that fit your mood. Mix them up. Try to have some meditation music... you know New Age. Not only can your biking or walking be good for your body, but you can relax and clear your mind. My best thinking comes while I'm swimming. It's my water therapy.

5 Tips For Getting the Best Recumbent Exercise Bike
Choosing the best recumbent exercise bike means looking at what the machine can do for you. An exercise bike can truly be a tool for building fitness in several ways as well as a way to lose way and get in shape at the same time. Here are tips for getting the best exercise bike for the way you will use it.
Works For Everybody
Some exercise equipment is an accident or an injury looking for a place to happen. Especially if you have an injury or a physical limitation, better steer away from many pieces of exercise equipment. That's where a recumbent exercise bike excels.
It especially spares the back and is often used in rehabilitation for many because it's less likely to cause injury and is especially easy to get on and go. Comfort is a strong point of recumbent stationary bicycles and that isn't just o make it easier to use either. It's also to make it more likely that the machine gets used often and hard too.
Heavy Weight And No Cheating
Heavy construction makes it more likely that you get the workout that really helps too. Why? Simple... Cheap, lightweight machine will tend to move as you pedal hard. That moving certainly does nothing to inspire pushing harder. It's mildly disturbing to ride a bike that rocks and rolls, to say nothing of what swaying does to the machine itself.
What happens is that light exercise bikes sway and rock and that loosens joints and starts a process that destroys the bike over time, not much time either. That's why rugged construction becomes a must if you really expect to do the kinds of workouts that produce results.
Electronics To Fight Boring
Bikes that include pre-programmed workouts in combination with magnetic drives help fight boredom. Programmed workouts vary resistance to simulate an actual ride. That's an easy way to put some fun in a fitness routine instead of just doing the same old thing over and over. Boredom stops many fitness programs but with the right features on a bike, that need not be the case at all.
Advantages For Women Especially
Women often have limited time for workouts and often that means not much gets done. An exercise bike has advantages because it can work many of the major muscle groups very quickly. In addition, the right kind of workout also combines a cardiac workout with muscle toning as well.
See, working out on a bike targets the legs, both upper and lower, as well as the muscles of the hips. Those being the larger muscles and also the areas where problems often lie, bike workouts get at the areas often of most concern and do it in an efficient manner. That means you get maximum results in minimum time spent.
Consider A Commercial Machine
Commercial grade machine do cost more but not that much more. The advantage of commercial machines like the Star Trac Exercise Bike for example is that every part of the bike is built for hard use. You get heavy construction as well as powerful electronics plus attention to detail in seating and comfort. Mid-priced bikes like the Schwinn recumbent exercise bikes offer superior value. But commercial machines offer quality with few or not compromises.
The best recumbent exercise bike will be useable by almost anybody. Make sure to get a machine with heavy construction if you expect to enjoy using it. Also powerful electronics helps fight exercise boredom and keeps you pedaling. Sometimes a commercial quality machine might be a good purchase. In any case, recumbent bikes encourage hard work but the workouts can still be done in comfort.
