Liz Davis, an assistant director at Larkins Hall, discussed women’s physical fitness with students Monday as part of the Soup and Substance series at the Ohio Union, held in conjunction with Womyn’s Month 2000.According to Davis, busy college students can fit physical fitness into their schedule more easily than they think.”Physical fitness is a behavior change; it’s a planned activity,” Davis said. “It’s important to find things you enjoy doing.”She recommended simple activities such as washing the car, dancing, walking, playing volleyball or touch football.”If nothing else, move, move, move,” she said. “Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk rather than drive, even fidgeting in your chair is movement.”Davis even suggests that students who tape their lectures listen to the tapes as they walk to class.Three types of exercise are important to physical activity: aerobic training, strength training and stretching, she said.The hardest exercise for women to get involved in is strength training, which involves weight training, Davis said. Women tend to stay away from the weights because they are afraid of looking like women body builders.Weight resistance should be added to exercises when the exercises become too easy, she said.”Exercise should be a challenge, but it shouldn’t kill you,” she said. “You should feel good after a workout.”Davis listed several reasons for students to get active, including increased energy, better moods and weight loss. Physiological benefits are reduced risk of heart disease, stroke and balancing of blood sugar levels.”Weight isn’t as much a part of being fit as people think,” she said. “You don’t need to be thin to be physically fit.”
