As a student nurse who recently started working night shifts for my capstone, I want to commit to moving my body as much as I can throughout the week! One way I enjoy moving my body is running.

I am committed to exercising more than I have been. I used to be good about it, but as the demands of school increased, my gym visits/walks decreased. It is my goal to walk or hit the gym at least three times a week, not only because I love the physical results but because I love how much better I feel after I do anything active. There is nothing like clearing your ...

Sometimes nursing school and clinical rotations can make it hard to get outside. I have made sure to get 10k steps a day over the last few weeks which has helped me feel better and more focused!

This past weekend, I cheered on my sister during her first half marathon. It was extremely inspiring and motivating. I have exercised minimally over the last few years, making excuses due to nursing school and work. As a former athlete, physical health has always been a huge part of my life until recently. I am committed to re-establishing an exercise ...

I am committed to be more active and to spend more than 30 minutes of walking/jogging for 5 days a week! My goal is to get at least 10,000 steps a day. This will help improve my cardiovascular health, relieve anxiety, and contribute to a healthier lifestyle.

I commit to performing some physical activity (run/walk, weight lift, hike) in order to keep myself active. Exercise can be a way to release stress from our day-to-day, which is useful during nursing school. I commit to exercising at least 3 days per week incorporating a 15-20 min cardio and weight lift for 30-40 min.

I will try to exercise at least 30 minutes every day. This includes mild to moderate exercises, strength training, and more intense workouts.

I have been getting easily tired and cannot focus on one thing anymore... So, I am going to work out for at least four days a week and a minimum of 45 minutes or longer for each section. I will go hiking at least once a month to get fresh air and reset my mind too.

My blood pressure has been rising over the past year, so I am going to go for a run at least once a week and try to continue to get faster times on my mile. I will also weight lift at least 4 days a week.

This year I want to prioritize physical exercise. I will incorporate physical activity for at least 30 minutes four days a week. Being physically active and fit will help me with my studies as a nursing student and my mental health.

I am committing to spending at least 30 minutes outside engaged in physical activity 5 days of the week. I am also committing to going to the gym 3 days each week. When I am physically active I feel and do better in every aspect of my life.

I am going to commit to walking at least 30 minutes outside every day and working out in the gym at least 3x a week for 1.5 hours. I am also hoping to start using one or both of my 15-minute breaks during a shift to walk outside or in the facility.

I am committed to walking for 30 minutes three times a week. I have spent the last two years working full time while going to school and doing clinicals and raising kids and all the things.

I will engage in a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise at least 4 days/week

I believe that movement changes your mind, body, and spirit. If your day begins to feel overwhelming stand up and walk a minimum of 100 steps and your feelings will change. Take slow deep breaths.

While being so busy in nursing school, I have found it difficult to want to be active due to exhaustion and wanting to lay down and rest. I know that that is not good for my health, so I try to walk my dog atleast once a day to get some physical activity! 

During nursing school it can get very easy to overindulge in “rest times” due to exhaustion and stress. However, it is proven that we need at least 30 minutes of exercise each day. I commit to go on a 30 min walk each day to promote better physical health and better coping for stress. 

throughout the rest of nursing school and through my nursing career i’ll continue to keep doing the things that keep my quality of life up, such as going on walks and just being outside! 

I commit to making my physical health more of a priority by walking outside 5 times a week.  I love to go on outside walks but when I get busy with school and other commitments this physical activity is one of the first things that I drop from my schedule. When I go on walks it not only improves my physical health but also my mental health as I am able to take a break ...

My personal commitment is to always keep my body moving that way I can stay strong & healthy!

I commit to making time outside of work, school, and other stressors to exercise, whether it be in a gym or outdoors, for at least one hour three to four times a week.

I commit to set time aside for myself and keep personal time away from work and school. What I like to do for myself in my personal time is going to the gym and running.
