These 15 Home Exercises Are The Answer To Not Having Time To Go To The Gym

I'm sure many of us dream of being healthy and fit. I know I sure as hell do. Forget being skinny, I just want to be tight, toned, and fit.

I rarely have time to make a trip to the gym. Between working two jobs, going to school, and participating in extracurriculars, the last thing I want to do is wake up at the crack of down to get a workout in or end a long day with exercising for an hour or two in front of strangers. I'm pretty sure I'd pass out during both of those times.

However, I often do home exercises in the comfort of my own room or living room. It saves a lot of time and effort. I don't need to drive anywhere and I don't have to feel self-conscious since I'm not working out in front of strangers. I can fit in a quick set of exercises right before I get ready for the day (in about 30 minutes or so) or right before bed.

Keep in mind though, you'll get an entirely different workout when doing so at home and not at the gym. If you're trying to bulk up, these exercises won't really help you. The majority of the exercise I'm mentioning is more for toning, tightening up, and targeting fat.

1. Jump roping

2. Sit-ups

3. Squats

4. Lunges

5. Planks

6. Bicycle crunches

7. Calf raises

8. Flutter kicks

9. Side leg raises

10. Donkey kicks

11. Hip raises

12. Russian twists

13. Burpees

14. High knees

15. Knees-to-elbows

You can mix it up and do some of these exercises each day — start with one and work your way up! You'll be feeling fit and toned in no time!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
