1. Set Small, Reachable Goals
Setting small realistic goals is a lot easier and more achievable than setting one big goal. Try setting goals like; working out 2-3 times a week to begin with or, trying a different sport/ exercise every month. These small achievable goals will be easier to reach and keep you on the right track rather than "I want to lose 3lbs!".
2. Be A Team Player
Being at college is a huge advantage when wanting to try a new sport or join a team, most of the time most school teams have different levels of fitness, from beginners to more advanced players, so there is always something for everyone! It’s also a great way to meet new people!3. Get The Kit Right!
Wearing the right type of clothing when working out is so important. It allows you to be comfortable while doing exercise and it will help prevent you from injury.

4. Buddy Up
Fitness is so much more fun when you are doing it with other people. Why not invite your new roommates to work out with you, whether it be for a run or playing a sport in your nearest park? When you’re working out with other people it will allow you to be more focused and keep each other motivated. You could even set some challenges for each other and get a bit competitive!5. Relax & Have Fun
Don’t do too much! If you tell yourself you’re going to work out 5-6 times a week and then don’t achieve that it’ll cause you to lose your motivation. Fitness should be fun. There is no need to take it so seriously, if you’re having fun when working out then it’ll help relieve the stress of college life as well as keeping you motivated!
