Commitments
I commit to spending more time in nature doing things like hiking and take walks outside for the next month!
My job requires me to be at my desk for long periods of time. My body is just getting stiffer and stiffer. I am looking for exercise I can do at my office.
Since becoming a nurse, the high stress of the my job has effected me greatly. I have gained around 60 pounds in 3 years and have been struggling with depression because of it. I choose to no longer let stress and depression run my life! My physical activity commitment is to get out and walk 20 minutes a day, even on days that I work. My goal is to start at 20 ...
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 want to make sure I continue to prioritize being active and walking 3-4 times a week, despite a busy schedule! :)
I commit to working out 3-4 days per week!!!

I commit to going on daily walks with my dog.
As a current nursing student completing night shift clinical rotations, I have struggled to find the time to incorporate a workout routine. I commit to completing four workouts a week and play intramural soccer with friends.
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 ...

Whether it’s by going to the gym, spending time on the water, or even just taking a walk, I aim to keep moving my body. I am blessed with a body that is capable of movement and the least I can do is engage in it!
I am commited to playing more golf to improve my well-being. It is a peaceful way to spend time outdoors and relieve some stress. The challenge is a great way to stay mentally engaged while taking a break from life's pressures. Being in nature with friends is also a great time. Stay Slicin'.

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.
To do yoga for 10-15mins every evening during the weekdays to help wind down, reduce stress and bring movement back into my body. Do 5 mins of core work out once a week (during weekdays) for 5 mins to help strengthen pelvic floor and reduce possible back pain.
I am going to exercise the recommended amount of 150 minutes per week. I will try to find a variety of activities that are enjoyable.
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 have finally graduated!! Woohoo!! And I am ready to give myself back some "me time" by adding back the walking that I used to really enjoy.
I will stay hydrated by drinking at-least 8 cups of water daily.I will walk 2-3 miles on my days off to promote my physical health.
I've officially finished school and working as a RN now. My goal for the next year is to start being more active, I want to start working out and make better eating habits.
I commit to purposefully moving my body for at least 30 minutes everyday. Whether it be a walk with my husband and our two dogs, or getting to the gym for a run and lifting session, this is a method of self care for me that I want to prioritize in this busy season of life of pursuing a higher degree and beginning a new RN position.
Will do strengthening exercise 10 minutes daily and walking 30 minutes four days a week
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. It is important to find hobbies and interests outside your daily obligations, and it is even better that I can have friends to share them with.
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. I have been consistent in nursing school with keeping this healthy balance. Working out has always been a time where my mind can shut off. It helps to have this hobby because it benefits my ...
I commit to continuing taking a 2-mile run at least 5 times a week. I took up running before the start of this semester, and it has helped me keep myself in shape and increased my physical activity.
