Exercise in College - Experts and Professionals

Running, lifting, doing abs and other workouts are beyond what a college student is expected to do, but those things may help them further succeed in their studies.

Students who do not work out said that they lack the motivation to get to the gym and work out.

Kinesiology and motivation expert Deborah Feltz said students can work on motivation to make themselves better at everything.

"Partnering up with someone who is more capable, but not completely out of reach and league, will make the said student work harder and achieve more," Feltz said.

The benefits of the exercise go beyond the body health and good looks, personal trainer Mike Ball said.

"The benefits are being healthier and consistent. It leads to eating better and having a better nutrition, being more patient and persistent in one's academic life and also in relationships," Ball said.

In order to get those benefits though, Ball said the students has to put in the effort and time.

"You have to make it a priority, make time for it and make workouts efficient, even if it's twice a week for half an hour. It'll help you control stress and learn better," Ball said.
