The importance of a nutrient-rich breakfast
By Lily Esteghamati, Sophomore, Public Health, Falk College

Ways to Reduce Back Strain
...
You can avoid injury. Prevention starts with the placement of the items in your backpack. Place the heavier items closer to the back of the bag and the lighter items toward the front. It is important to secure the items so they do not shift when you are walking. By only taking what you need for the day to class, you can lighten your load. If that is not possible, consider carrying a heavy item in your arms instead of putting it in your backpack. Many doctors are recommending using a rolling bag, which eliminates any strain on your shoulders or back.

Low-intensity steady-state (LISS) differs greatly from HIIT, but has similar health benefits. According to Healthline, a typical LISS workout consists of a performing an exercise like walking, jogging or biking for a long period of time at a steady pace. LISS tends to be much gentler on joints, allowing for quicker recovery. This type of cardio is more attractive to beginners and people with existing injuries or limitations. Although it requires a longer time commitment, this type of training can be useful for preparing for endurance events like half marathons.
