]]>Similar Schedules
Whether you’re working first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon, you should look for a buddy with a similar class schedule because you’ll have an easier time planning your workouts together.
Familiar Faces
It’s highly likely that your workout buddy won’t be a complete stranger. Ask your dormmate or one of your classmates if they’re interested, and it won’t take you long to find someone who shares your love for fitness.
Campus Groups
If you’re struggling to find a workout buddy among your friends, check if there are any group workout sessions on campus that you could join to meet potential workout partners.
Similar Fitness Level
Finding someone who’s on a similar fitness level is always a good idea because you’ll be able to challenge each other without feeling like one of you is struggling to keep up.
Workout Program
It’s also important to find a workout buddy who’s interested in trying a similar workout program, whether you’re going to a traditional gym, doing yoga, or running.

]]>Rule 1: Healthy Diet
The first rule of the “75 Hard” challenge is all about following a healthy diet, and you can embrace it in any way you see fit because it’s not extremely specific.
Rule 2: Two Daily 45-Minute Workouts
The second rule is much harder to follow, especially as a busy college student. Doing two 45-minute workouts a day probably sounds like a mission impossible, but you can always try making your workouts shorter.
Rule 3: A Gallon of Water
This rule will help you stay hydrated throughout the day. If drinking a full gallon of water sounds like too much, try starting with eight glasses or two liters per day.
Rule 4: 10 Pages of Non-Fiction
You’re probably already reading 10 pages of school materials every day, but you can broaden your horizons by adding some non-fiction to the mix.
Rule 5: Progress Pictures
If you want to track your progress while taking part in the “75 Hard” challenge, progress pictures will get you there. You can use them as a motivational tool because they’ll remind you how far you’ve come and inspire you to keep going.

(@cynthiaslam)Keep Active As You Study
As you study in your dorm, take short breaks in between. During this time, make sure to move around and perhaps even do some light workouts before returning to the books. Some exercises that you could do include jumping jacks, pushups, plans, sit-ups, and perhaps some light yoga. You could also download a fitness app and search for quick workouts to do.

]]>Thrift Stores
Buying second-hand workout clothes is a great way to save money, but it can be tricky. Carefully look through the shelves and look for gently used workout gear in good condition.
Outlet Stores
Outlet stores are another great place to find budget-friendly discounted activewear, even if you want to shop for clothes from major athletic brands.
Sales Time!
Never buy activewear at full price and wait until the time is right. Always shop during seasonal sales, when most sporting goods stores and retailers offer sales and discounts on last season’s workout clothes.
Student Discounts
Try to look for sportswear brands and retailers that offer discounts for students and use them to your advantage whenever possible.
Avoid Top Brands
Your workout clothes can look good and feel comfortable even if you’re not shopping from the top brands. Off-brands sometimes offer great activewear at an affordable price so give them a shot because you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

]]>Less Busy Schedule
Your schedule will free up in the summer since you’ll have no classes or exams to deal with, so it’s much easier to work out in the morning once this season arrives.
Early Start
It’s tempting to sleep in once the school year is over, but morning workouts will give you a reason to get up early and start your day on the right foot.
Lower Temperatures
In addition to being the best time to work out in the summer, mornings are very often the only time. Temperatures will rise during the day, and it will be pretty unbearable to work out, especially if you’re doing it outdoors.
Free Evenings
Working out in the mornings will free up your evenings, making it easier to catch up with friends, do a part-time job, run errands, or enjoy your hobbies.
Developing Good Habits
They say it only takes 21 days to develop a good habit, and if you fall in love with morning workouts this summer, chances are you’ll be doing them all year long.
