About Students Fitness
Students Fitness is a health and fitness resource built for people with packed schedules — college and high school students, 9-to-5 workers, and busy parents who want to get fit without rearranging their whole life around it.
We started Students Fitness because most fitness advice online assumes you’ve got two free hours a day, a full kitchen, and money to burn. Most students don’t. We focus on realistic, time- and budget-friendly ways to eat better, move more, and feel stronger — the stuff that actually fits around lectures, commutes, late-night study sessions, and a tight budget.
How we create our content
Our articles are researched and written by the Students Fitness editorial team. We base our guidance on reputable, science-backed sources — including the CDC, the NIH, and peer-reviewed research — and translate it into plain, practical advice you can use today. When the evidence is mixed or still evolving, we say so.
A note on trust
We’re an education and content site, not a substitute for professional medical or training advice. Everyone’s body and situation is different, so for anything specific to your health, check with a doctor or a certified professional before making big changes.
Student’s Fitness Guide
Pay attention as I teach you the basic philosophy of Student’s Fitness in a nutshell.
EXERCISE
Our main goal here is to simply be more active – and that can be doing whatever you enjoy the most! Obviously different activities/routines will provide different results, but if you’re not doing something that you enjoy then there’s no way you’re going to keep up with it consistently.
If your main goal is weight loss then there are so many different ways to burn calories that any and all methods are acceptable, so just pick whatever one you enjoy the most! Yoga, soccer, weight lifting, running, cycling, etc – I want you to help you find what you enjoy and help you get better at it.
Now, on the other hand, if you’re down for anything and want to burn the most calories in the quickest time possible (high intensity) I’d recommend looking into circuit or HIIT training. If you’re totally new to working out or haven’t exercised in a long time, then try out this beginner workout video.
Different activities will give you different results, but when it comes down to it you need to find something that you enjoy and will keep doing consistently!
DIET
The majority of positive physical and mental changes you will experience in your change of lifestyle will be a result of the changes you make in your diet. Now, diet is quite a complex and controversial topic but I’m going to keep it very simple for you. It all comes down to a few basic points:
- eat real, whole food (avoid fake and processed foods)
- eat in moderation and according to your goals (e.g. weight loss or muscle gain)
- eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
IMPLEMENTATION
I don’t expect you to all of a sudden totally change your lifestyle and start working out everyday and changing your diet overnight. It’s all about progress. Make little changes daily towards a healthy lifestyle and slowly you’ll see how easy it is to adapt.
You may feel as though you have no time for a healthy lifestyle (I sure as hell thought I didn’t) but you’ll soon realize that if you stop wasting time on useless things then you’d have more time than you’d know what to do with!
Play on your phone a little less, get out of bed a little earlier, lounge around a little less, and you’ll see how much time you’ve actually been wasting. And if you think that it will impact your grades – it will, but for the better!
You’ll see how much more productive you are when you start becoming more active and eating better. Your brain and body functions so much better when its running on healthy, whole food and exercising daily.
Make slow changes daily and you’ll soon see the tremendous positive impact it will have on your life. You can use this Ultimate Guide to Staying Fit as a Student to start out.
I’d love for you to join our movement and be the best version that you can be!
