How have I gained the Freshman 15?!


Question: How have I gained the Freshman 15.?
Being a Freshman in college, I heard a lot about the freshman 15. Now I was never too worried about it, being an asian male (fast metabolism). However, since I've been on campus I have gained a few pounds, though not the "full 15". My question is: from what did I gain these pounds.?

I have been working out/lifting pretty much ever day since I've been on campus, so some of it will be from muscle. On the other hand, I'm sure my eating habits have changed as well.

Any insight.?Health Question & Answer

I would try this workout. At the same time you will be gaining muscule and burning fat. So its awesome.


WHAT YOU'LL NEED: Two 5 pounds weights.
* means one 5 pound weight in each hand.

If you don't have two 5 pound weights try using water bottles full of water.


Workout:
Stretch
*20 Bench Press x3
20 squats x3
*20 side arm lifts x3
20 crunches x3
20 push-ups x3
*20 lunges x3
20 leg lifts x3
Walk for 30 mins
Stretch

Stretching before your workout helps you not to pull a muscule during your workout.

Stretching after your workout helps you not be AS sore afterward.

I try to do this everyday, but I'm sure you would get results doing this only 2-4 days a week. I recomend everyday.


Eat 1500 calories a day and drink 8 glasses of water daily.

You will lose weight and tone up!


I've lost 6 pounds and I've only been doing it for a week!


You can do it! i know you can!

You will be sore. and it will hurt but you can do it.

Don't be scared to add more excercises of more reps.


Hope this works for you!Health Question & Answer

You probably got it from what you are eating, college students tend to eat lots of fast food and that crap will make you gain tons of weight! Do you drink.? If so that is another thing that I would cut back on because people often do not realize just how many calories are in alcohol and they sure add up fast!
