The article reveals the influence of independent physical exercises on the improvement of physical condition. It is established that the level of health of modern youth is at a low level, which is due to the lack of motivation for physical education. It was found that most students are to some extent dissatisfied with the system of organization of physical education in higher education institutions. The article suggests ways to increase the prestige of physical education classes and improve motivation for independent exercise. First of all, it should be noted that independent exercise can not take place without awareness of the need for a healthy body and good health. The student's awareness of the need for exercise is the first step towards his personal development, regardless of where and how he wants to realize himself in this case. Physical education acts as an integral part of the general and professional culture of the student, as the most important qualitative dynamic characteristic of his personal development, as a fundamental activity that determines the beginning of his socio-cultural existence, method and extent of essential strengths and abilities. First of all, the student must be interested in the lessons, and also keep in mind that the body, spirit and mind this is the only whole that is the essence of a healthy and harmonious personality. The student should also understand that his own body in many ways resembles a vessel, and it depends on the subject what and how to fill it. When exerting a pedagogical influence on a student, it is important to convey to him an understanding of this simple truth, and in physical education classes it is necessary to try to give maximum freedom to everyone. Of course, it is difficult to make a student aware of the need for physical education, and even more so through pedagogical skills to encourage him to do physical exercises, because in the educational program of higher education there are other subjects that require some time.
