For many students, the constraints of academic, work and social responsibilities can make a consistent workout routine a near impossibility. Yet, physical fitness remains an integral part of a college student's health and campus experience, something emphasized by the Dottie Dorion Fitness Center. "A weight training program is important, regardless of your experience level," said fitness center trainer Trey Vollmer. "Just a few days a week can make a big difference." A typical workout routine follows a five step process: Warm up, thorough stretch, weight training, cardiovascular activity and a cool down period. Compiled by Brett Morgan.
