Guys & gals, summer bodies are made in the winter! So here’s our top tips to help get fit on a student budget! Prep Prepping your meals is key, as we all know, abs are made in the kitchen, so the kitchen is a great place to get started! By prepping your meals you know exactly what’s going into them, which is really important! It can also save you a lot of time and pennies! So prepare a batch, chuck them tupperware boxes (these are super handy from Urban Outfitters) and you’re good to go! A great tip is to do one (big) food shop a week, make a shopping list, and stick to it! Remember, failing to prepare is preparing to fail! c/o urbanoutfitters.com Gym buddies Budding up in the gym is brill! It’s great for motivating each other and keeping exercise fun, and a bit of friendly competition never hurt anyone! Plan Student life is super busy and trying to fit lectures/revision/working/sleeping can be tricky, and so a gym session isn’t always the top of the list, we get that! So try designating a set time for training a few days a week instead of ‘when you feel like it’, cause chances are you won’t! If you’re a morning person try getting up a little earlier before your lectures, or if you’re not a morning person take your kit with you and workout in the evening! Whatever works for you, so no excuses! Supplements Both the guys and gals here at UNiDAYS HQ love supplements to complement our fitness regimes!
