“Eat a healthy breakfast seven days a week, eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, only two hours or less of TV or Internet a day, at least one hour of exercise per day and zero sugar-sweetened drinks. Seven-five-two-one-zero. That's what I learned at the Alaska Native Medical Center.”
— Sean Walsh, freshman, Anchorage, Alaska
“Get involved in the activities and sports here. ... I've really enjoyed being involved with cheerleading, and I think physical fitness is very important. It makes you appreciate your body a lot more and helps you be more confident and outgoing.”
— Brittany Hall, junior, Kansas City, Mo.
“Run, walk, work out at the gym. As long as they're finding some time in their day to exercise.”
— Isaac Jenks, freshman, Shawnee, Okla.
“What got me started was training for a long distance relay, and now I'm working toward a half marathon. I also took the body weight control class last semester. It fills up pretty fast, but students should try to take it.”
