Back To School Workout - Prevent The Freshman 15

September is "Back To School" month. I don't care if you are 30 years old with no kids or a grandmother who hasn't seen a school bus since the move down south, September will always symbolize a new year in my opinion. During College, I would come home having put on 5-30 lbs at the end of the year. By September I usually lost the extra baggage, but would manage to eat enough pizza to gain it back. I called it the Freshman 10, Sophomore 5, Junior 10, and the superior Senior 30.

This September I wanted to help those that would be enduring the grueling months of parties, studies, pizza and parties by bringing you a Freshman 15 Prevention Workout. This workout routine can be done anywhere. From your dorm room, to even the library these three moves will help keep your weight under control. Of course there is a need to eat moderately and add cardio but it is a small step in preventing what was once considered inevitable college weight gain. Here is a quick breakdown of the routine but make sure you watch to get a good grasp on how to do each move properly.
