Over the past few days i decided to find out from other ODU student athletes how they felt about students on ODU campus in general with their health and fitness. When it came to campus food, that was the biggest problem i found. Every single girl i asked said that they had gained the freshman 30 within the first semester. Why? i asked them " have you been into whitehurst dining hall ?" then i actually had to agree. I remember living in whitehurst and they basically told you that there was a huge selection but the greens were always brown and the only thing that looked remotly good was french fries. BINGO there is your thirty pounds fries and pizza.
Then i was curious to see, because since they are required to work out and it is forced, that if they were not on a team, how hard would it be to work out. Half said they would want to go run more and be active , while the other half were pretty honest and said it would be hard to motivate themselves. Seeing as their whole life people have MADE them work out, if they had the freedom not too that they could not make themselves do it for themselves.
Surrounded by girls constantly talking about diets and how they need to lose weights, not on of the girls i interviewed could stick to a strict diet for longer than a week without giving up and eating some fries or ice cream. YES these are college athletes ha. One girl made a good point though " Exercise is like a routine, if you start just waking up and making yourself go for a run for about 2 weeks, you will actually get in the hang of it and it will not be that hard." its never to late to start exercising !
So get out there and start walking..then that turns into running..then before you know it you will not even get sore anymore ! good luck
