Need some workout motivation?

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?

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
