A Simple, At-Home, Full-Body Workout To Get You Prepped For Summer

Not everyone wants to (or can) get to a gym to work out. And trust me, I totally get that. When I first started working out, I only felt comfortable enough to actually go to a gym once I had been working out for a decent time. So this article is for anyone that wants to get started on a fitness journey or is just in the mood for a little workout.

This specific workout is a full body and can successfully be done in a small dorm room, no equipment needed! Everyone workout will be shown below as well as a condensed list at the end which you can screenshot for future use!

I’ve listed a number of reps and each exercise is meant to be repeated 2 more times for a total of 3 sets (try not to take more than 30 seconds break in between sets!) and obviously all can be modified to your liking!

Also stretching before exercise is always recommended ;)

1. Arm circles

30 forward, 30 backward

Trust me, you feel it more than you’d think

2. Wall Sit

30 seconds

Splitting it into two 15 second increments is also an option, just don’t rest for too long in between! (no more than 5 seconds)

3. Jumping Jacks

20 reps

Hopefully, this will get your heart rate up a bit — if not, do more!

4. Push-ups

15 reps

If you’re like me and have little upper body strength, then you can totally do kneeling push-ups if you need to. Just make sure you get to 15!

5. Squats

20 reps

Get as low in the squat as you can while maintaining proper form

6. Inchworms

10 reps

Walking your hands forward and your feet back to your hands is only considered 1 rep FYI!

7. Reverse Crunches

10 reps

This move strengthens your core just as much as regular crunches, just without the strain on your neck

8. Lunges

10 reps each leg

You definitely get more out of these if you can do them in succession but not all of us have the space for that

9. Elbow Plank

30 seconds

Once again, if 30 seconds is a bit too long, you can always split this up into 15-second increments.

10. Hip Thrusters

15 reps

To get the most out of this exercise, you really need to keep your glutes and core tight.

If you need a new series to watch, I recommend One Tree Hill. I watched this series three times now and it only keeps getting better. If you need any more reasons beside the fact that all of the seasons are on Netflix for your binge-watching pleasure, here are seven more reasons to watch it.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
