Being a student is much more than lectures and exams. With all the stress and commitments of university, it is important to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle, and the best thing is this will positively impact your studies. The benefits of healthy living are endless, and UWA Sport runs a number of programs, clubs and events which can help keep you at the top of your game.

Boost Your Memory: Regular aerobic exercise can boost the part of your brain which deals with memory and helps cognitive processes, which is guaranteed to improve your concentration in studies. If you are looking for a way to commit to more aerobic exercise, why not try out some Yoga ?

Improve Your Mood: Need an emotional lift or to blow off some steam after a long day? Physical activity is a great way to stimulate the parts of your brain which make you feel happier and more relaxed. Exercise is also an excellent boost to your self-esteem and confidence, which goes a long way to improving your mood. Take advantage of Recreate’s Boxing For Fitness classes to give you that little spark.

Don’t Let the Weather Stop You: Just because it’s raining outside doesn’t mean you can’t keep active. There are a lot of ways to stay healthy indoors, which will keep you in a routine through winter and when the weather interrupts your plans. With classes and plans to suit you, Group Fitness is an excellent way to keep fit no matter what it looks like outside.

Make Some Friends: UWA is a social hub, and a great place to meet new people. The programs, clubs and events that UWA Sport offers are perfect for building friendships and teamwork. Check out the variety of clubs out there for more ways to engage.

Sleep Well: With long, extended and confused hours, it can be difficult for students to get a healthy sleep. By keeping up your exercise, you can improve your sleep, which will lead to better performance and a more alert state during the day. A Gym Membership is the best way to take advantage of the facilities around the clock, and leave you feeling refreshed and ready to go.

Most Importantly: Exercise and sports are meant to be social, active and enjoyable activities that test our bodies and minds. Don’t be afraid to take a break from study and have some fun. Learn some vital life skills, stay healthy, and kill boredom all without having to leave the university campus.
