The Prepped and Polished Podcast is an educational and inspirational show that offers tutoring and test prep tips as well as interviews with celebrities and leaders in education. It is hosted by Alexis Avila, founder of Prepped and Polished LLC, a tutoring and test prep firm for K-college.

On today's show, Alexis is joined by Amie Hoff fitness expert and founder of Hoff Fitness LLC and co-founder of the FitKit line of health improvement products. Amie gives you her tips for how college students can best avoid the freshman 15 and teaches you ways to stay healthy during your college years.

Amie’s advice for college students:

The first step to better health in college is the DESIRE to want to be fit.

Try to do 1.5-2 hours of cardio per week with 2-3 25 minute strength sessions per week.

Workout during college to regain your mental clarity; partying and drinking takes away your mental clarity!

Amie’s advice for parents of college bound students:

Look into getting your kid a gym membership while at college.

Have you child download and use My Fitness Pal. Amie is on there, so you can friend her at: Amie Hoff Fitness.

Find charity walks on campus such as walks for cancer

Amie’s parting shot: If it grows IN a plant DON’T eat it. If it comes from a plant EAT IT!
