Easy, Unique Ways To Work Out This Summer

Want to change your summer work out a little? Or looking for a little diversity in your exercise programs? Well here is a simple sure fire work out to blow those summer calories away.

Warm Up/Cool Down Stretches

Reaching for the highest spot in the pantry where the potato chips lay. It stretches your calves, sides, and your arms. Reward yourself with those chips you were aiming for.

Abs

By wrestling your sibling for the T.V. remote.

Reps: Throughout the day/night. (Good luck.)

Laughing with your friends

Reps: Always.

Cardio

Run after the ice cream truck as it drives down the road pointedly ignoring you and mocking you with it's song.

Reps: Once. And after getting them to stop and order your triple chocolate ice cream cone, lie on the cold hard ground and cry.

Play tag with the neighborhood kids. (What? You don't have to be a kid to play and it will make those kids love you and possibly worship you. Then one day you will find you will have the minions you need to help you take over the world.)

Reps: However many times it takes to get the kids to trust you.

Classic, good-ole squirt gun fight.

Reps: Until there is a winner.

Weights (Muscle Endurance)

There are many things you can do for this; carrying logs to help fuel your bass jumping campfire party, lifting your forks and spoons as you eat one of your many meals (on the easier level), helping your friend move their heavy-arse moving boxes, and so many more options.

Reps: Whenever you get the chance and for as long as you want.

Balance

Practice perfectly balancing two ice cream cones in each hand.

Reps: Once. (Side note: do you really need all of those? Not trying to tell you how to live your life or anything...)

Getting up really quick from sitting/laying on the coach. You are almost always off balance after doing this.

Reps: Not too often.

Yoga/Sleep

Finish with this by taking a nap. That's like yoga sleeping's cousin, because honestly you've done enough workout for a day.


I hope these unique workout ideas will help inspire you to get some probably much needed exercise this summer. Or maybe you can look at these workout plans and tell your friends who "always work out every morning" that you too work out.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
