University sports in the summer semester
University sports in the summer semester
Good bye winter semester! The summer semester is already in the starting blocks.
So quickly get rid of the burdens of the last semester of study: write down homework and study for the exams that are still outstanding. Maybe there could be more sport on the program for the new semester? The range of university sports available at your university is often more diverse than you think.
Mentally, the pressure can definitely take its toll: little sleep, hardly any exercise, fast food and always sitting at the desk in front of the books. In such situations, your mind can be anywhere, just not where it is necessary. There's also no shortage of distraction mechanisms: the bathroom hasn't been cleaned in a long time and what the windows look like again...
So it's time to pull yourself together, clear your head, fight winter fat and do something for your beach body. Clear the stage for university sports!
Exercising - The panacea. Check the university sports offerings at your university
And that's exactly why your university has something in store for you: university sports.
We're not just talking about football, basketball and volleyball. The offering is absolutely gigantic: from individual to team sports, from dancing to boxing, from surfing to skiing, there is something for everyone, whether it's a hip-hop course in Aachen, Hawaiian hula dancing in Berlin, hot iron cross in Hamburg or underwater hockey in Munich. (And there is also a constantly growing offering for our fellow students who have physical disabilities, for example the university sports in Munich offers wheelchair basketball and wheelchair dancing.)
You can view all of your university's university sports offerings directly online and usually register directly at the beginning of the semester. But be careful, popular courses tend to fill up quickly, so book in good time! By the way, the sports course is available at a bargain price: for an average of €30, you can let off steam for an entire semester.
Collect a bonus from your health insurance company
But the best is yet to come! If you demonstrably keep yourself fit through a sports course and meet a few other requirements, such as preventive examinations, your statutory health insurance company will pay you a bonus of up to €200 at the end of the year. So, just check at the checkout.
In this sense: keep fit, save money and get your money back.
Well then: university sports are free!
