Your Body is a Temple.


One of the things us college girls pride ourselves on is our confidence.  We are strong, beautiful, independent women.  We make sure we have fun.  We make sure we look good.  And above all we make sure we’re healthy.  With so many temptations around us (tons of restaurants and bars), we have to make sure we take care of our bodies.  You can only consume so many Cosmo’s and cheesesteaks before they start affecting you.  This post will discuss a few ways you can keep your body in check just as much as you do your bank account. 
The easiest and most inexpensive option would be your school’s gym.  If you’re a full time student, you can go anytime for free.  Drexel University offers a TON of awesome classes for its students: Zumba, Yoga, and Spinning being some of the most popular.  Drexel recently started offering Zumba classes (FYI: they’re popular and with limited space in the class, so get there early to make sure you get in!).  I’m personally a huge fan.  Dancing around to some great tunes makes it feel like anything but a workout!  And it’s even better if you do it with friends.  The extra laughs provide a lil’ something extra for your abs. 
Yoga is also another great way to tone and strengthen not only your body but even your breathing.  Drexel offers classes, but if you’re interested in more of a challenge for a cheap price (or if you’re located closer to Center City than University City) check out The Yoga Loft at 1611 Walnut Street.  It offers 5 introductory classes for only $25 with a college ID.  The instructors are so nice, and they really do a great job of guiding you through the different poses.  You walk out feeling amazing and refreshed.
Remember:  you can look good and feel great for free.  We can save as much money as we want, but if we aren’t healthy it won’t mean much.  So let’s get out there and give our bodies the respect it deserves!
Namaste.
