Midterm season is upon us but luckily we're fortunate enough to have the beach within reach for much needed stress relief! Treat your mind and body to some fresh air to decompress!

As the temperature rises be sure to replenish your body with not only water but plenty of electrolytes to reduce your chances of cramping and to increase water retention!

Unaligned hips can be a cause of chronic low back, hamstring, and hip flexor pain and can decrease athletic performance so be wary as you keep hitting the gym!

Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) help your muscles’ ability to metabolize, and their levels drop during intense exercise. Make sure to fuel your body!

Make sure to take care of your microbiome! Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are great for your digestion. Prebiotics are non-digestive fibers that enhance the growth and activity of probiotics.

Why not be both fit and smart? Here at UCFit, we think the two aren’t mutually exclusive.

Exercise for the mind is just as important as exercise for the body

Dancing for the first 18 years of my life always kept me in shape, but ever since coming to college I've had to adjust to working out and staying active regularly. Being a part of UCFit has kept me in the right mindset about bodily fitness, health and well-being. -Marin
