Luka Hocevar is a local Renton personal trainer and fitness boot camp instructor. Today he shares his top tips to prevent gaining 15 plus pounds your freshman year in college.
Renton, WA, May 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Today, Luka Hocevar, a local Renton personal trainer and fitness boot camp instructor, shares some tips for college freshman on how to prevent gaining the dreaded “freshman 15”. Hocevar claims, “We’re rolling through May and summer is just around the corner, which means seniors in high school are already knee-deep in the senior slump that typifies the last semester prior to graduation. But what they (and their parents) should be most concerned about is fighting the scary trend of gaining 15 pounds their freshman year in college. Seriously, they might soon start calling it the “freshman 50” if someone doesn’t step in right now and educate our youngsters about proper training and sound nutrition. As someone who is only 5 years removed from college, I know firsthand how important this information is and I wish someone shared it with me before I graduated high school.”
Hocevar offers a complimentary fitness presentation for all local Renton schools entitled “How to Not Gain 15 Plus Pounds Your Freshman Year in College.” Following are three of his top ten tips from his presentation on how to fight the “freshman 15”:
"If you booze, you won't lose," Hocevar says. "One day of binge drinking can set you back days if not a full week when it comes to burning body fat. Mixing alcohol with sugary beverages promotes even further fat gain due to the resulting insulin surge that triggers fat storage (e.g. regular beer or cocktails mixed with regular soda and/or fruit juice)."
Hocevar goes on to mention his second tip, which is to invest in a whole body workout. “Perform a five-exercise circuit employing body weight-based exercise program, that is designed to work your upper body, lower body, and core, at least three times per week with a day of rest between workouts. Alternate between 50 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest for each a double-leg (e.g. squat), push (e.g. push-up), single-leg (e.g. lunge), pull (e.g. row), and core (e.g. plank/bridge) exercise. Perform up to 4 rounds without rest for a killer 20-minute total body workout that you can do anywhere.”
"Be a flexible eater,” is Hocevar’s third and final tip. “Allot yourself 1 or 2 “reward meals” per week where you can enjoy the indulgences of college life in moderation as needed. Be sure to plan your reward meals in advance based on your weekly schedule and be sure to earn them with compliance at all other times.”
Follow these tips and you will be sure to fight off the dreaded “freshman 15”.
