Face it, we've all had that moment of panic when walking into the gym. You know the moment when you have no idea what you're going to do while you're there. The one where you awkwardly walk towards a machine and think "I have no idea how to use that, but it looks simple, so I better use it before people stare at me."

This happens to the best of us "workout-aholics" not knowing what to do at the gym. The most challenging thing is when you're switching between different days of working out (legs, arms, chest) and you're just not feeling the soreness anymore. Once you stop feeling sore, it means your body has become used to the workout and if you want results, changing it up is the best option.

Trying new things is what makes you confident in having a wide range of workout abilities. Knowing all different workouts to help for however you're feeling is great for when you just aren't feeling the normal routine. Going with someone can help add some spice to your workout by doing some partner abs, lifting or going to a class you've never been to before. New equipment is always the scariest, but most exciting part of a workout. I've been using the Bosu ball at the gym lately and it has changed my workouts. It gives that extra push your body needs to enhance simpler workouts.


1. Burpees with a twist

This twist of adding the Busa ball gets the arms working and makes for a full body engagement in the exercise. Regular burpees are sometimes really hard on my hands and adding this element really helps to get the full workout.


2. Balance with a little help

Having this helpful balance tool for a stronger workout makes it that much better. It helps push you to your limits while helping you build yourself.

3. Feel like a Ninja

This workout helps with pushing your balance ability to the next level. It creates levels to your workout and adds a different view of the normal side shuffle workout.

Workouts have never looked more fun. When you have new and exciting ways to reach your goals, why not push yourself?

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.
