Wellness & Self-Care Resource Guide for Students

Movement is not only crucial for your cardiovascular health, but it can also be a powerful, natural sleep aid, and produce the same relaxation response as breathing. Here are some of the American Heart Association's recommendations for physical activity for adults:

• Get at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity, or a combination of both, preferably spread throughout the week.
• Add moderate- to high-intensity muscle-strengthening activity (such as resistance or weights) on at least 2 days per week.
• Spend less time sitting. Even light-intensity activity can offset some of the risks of being sedentary.

Participating in a club sport is a great way to stay active, have stress relief, and also meet others on campus.
