Im going to share a few short and easy home workouts to occupy your time during this quarantine! Home workouts need to be an exercise that can be done easily without weight and that do not require a lot of moving room. These can be used for abs, arms and your booty!

Ab Workouts!

This cycle of ab workouts are what I do every single time I’m in the gym. Every. Single. Time. They are simple, yet effective!

•Crunches

•Bicycle Kicks

•Small Butterfly Kicks

•Wide Butterfly Kicks

•Russian Twists

•Mountain Climbers

•V-Ups

Arm Workouts!

Arm workouts can easily be made, any body weight movements are good for toning up! Even if you don’t have any fancy movements to do, all you half to do to feel it in your arms... hold a plank. Then move the plank to push up position (no pushups, or pushups your preference) and then back down to plank. Do that for 45 seconds and tell me you don’t feel a slight ache from round one.

•Push ups

•Regular Planks

•Push Up Planks

•Mountain Climbers

•Burpees

Booty Moves!

What better pass time when stuck inside then improving and making booty gains! These can be the most motivating, for me, coming in close with abs! Leg and butt workouts can easily be done with body weight movements, just like arms. But, if you want to challenge yourself you can always add weight. It doesn’t have to be from a dumbbell. Pick up a stack of books or magazines, water packages, dog food bag, anything you can find that will challenge you a bit! Here a few of my favorite!

•Dumbbell Squats (Item Squats)

•Regular Body Weight Squats

•Bridges (Lay on your back , bend your knees and lift your butt into the air, touch the ground them back up.)

•Lay on your side and lift your top leg into the air, making a sideways V. Lift and slowly bring down then lift again, multiple times.

These are just a few at home movements to keep your body moving and healthy during this time. Any of these can be altered, a few of them even work two target areas at once!

Don’t think that just because you can’t access a gym, you can’t keep moving and pushing towards your goals.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
