12 Workouts That Are So Fun You Won't Even Feel Like You’re Exercising

This summer, I've had a harder time motivating myself to exercise than normal. With the gyms still closed, and my general lack of routine as a whole getting in the way of my productivity, I started having to be a little more creative with coming up with ways to get myself to exercise.

This was especially hard for me because I am NOT a cardio person. When I go to the gym, it's straight to weights after a warm-up lap and stretching. This is a problem because I don't have weights at home and my mom got sick of me trying use household items as replacements. So I was forced to try some cardio. I tried running like I did in high school, and that lasted maybe two days. It took a while for me to figure out what worked for me, which was playing "Just Dance" and cleaning, so hopefully, this helps you find what works for you a little faster.

Good luck, and have fun staying fit!

1. Dance

2. Martial arts

3. Clean

4. Parkour

5. Sex!

I'm not going to include a video for this one, but you get it!

Bring back your favorite childhood game. It's especially fun to play with friends or SO for some friendly competition.

Go for a walk

May not seem to fun at first but try exploring different areas and listening to your favorite playlist. This also helps with stress.

10. Play a musical instrument

This might sound wack, but playing the drums can be super tiring.

11. Zumba

12. Kickboxing

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
